Welcome to VOH Photography, My name is Heather Fryer
My work continues to evolve and develop over time, and in the past several years, I have found my interests leading me to increasingly elaborate creative pieces that incorporate a rich storytelling element. Unlike simply dropping a subject into a digital background, I meticulously incorporate all of the individual elements within these pieces, often combining many distinct elements, to craft a wondrous piece of art that captures the imagination and tells a captivating story.
Who is Heather?
Heather is an Accredited, Award-Winning Photographer known for her unique style in fantasy illustration and image manipulation. Her work inspires us to believe in our dreams and offers a fresh perspective on the world.
She takes great pleasure in dedicating her time to her personal creative endeavors, which include her many fantasy portraits.
She enjoys exploring her passion for music and actively supporting talented musicians, bands, and other performers.
Additionally, she creates unique professional and corporate portraits that capture the essence of her clients.
Heather grew up with a creative imagination, and her mind is constantly filled with pictures and innovative ideas. However, it is often a challenge to translate those pictures from within her mind into a tangible form where the world can appreciate them as beautiful art.
