About Loretta OConnell
Picture This Photography is a Liverpool-based photography brand founded by Loretta specialising in travel-inspiring, contemporary classic landscape & city view photography.
Born from a love of travel & exploration while living in The US Loretta trained in Brooklyn New York City (& later in London UK) primarily as a way to share her new home with family & friends. After taking part in her first class exhibition she was inspired to continue developing her skills and start a business.
With a background in the hair & education industry she is drawn to colour, shape & texture of the architecture and landscape while constantly chasing light & exploring alternative perspectives.
She has contributed to exhibitions at Brooklyn Central & The Foley Gallery NYC and her work has been featured in print, online & on national TV in The US.
Her work is included on location in UK restaurant & office interiors and has been featured in national photography store exhibitions for the “Love Your City” campaign in London & Liverpool.
With a never-ending sense of wanderlust she has lived in New York City, Bermuda, London & Liverpool UK where she loves to look at life through the lens & capture the expressive moment & personal perspective sharing favourite views & hidden gems.
Upon moving back to The UK in 2022 she sees through fresh eyes & constantly strives for improvement to capture true to camera contemporary classics with my her own personal twist while undertaking photography commissions & participating in local artisan events.
About Liverpool Art Fair
Liverpool Art Fair is an annual event, aiming to showcase a wide range of affordable original art by a plethora of local artists; providing a unique insight into the region’s creative talent and the opportunity for everyone, from seasoned collector to first time art buyer, to own their own piece of the Liverpool art world.
Pre-pandemic the event ran for eight years, launching in May 2012 as part of the inaugural Liverpool Art Month, at the then brand new Camp and Furnace. In 2017, we relocated to the Pier Head, in a purpose-built gallery constructed from five shipping containers! In 2019 we took Liverpool Art Fair to Metquarter, where it ran for 80 consecutive days.
In 2023 we were delighted to partner with the Royal Liver Building for the long-awaited return of the event, and its unqualified success means we are back for 2024, celebrating our 10th anniversary! In total we have welcomed over 55,000 art lovers to our events and showcased work by almost 2000 artists. Come along and experience the work of some of the region’s most talented visual artists, and with prices starting at just £20 you won’t leave empty handed!
