If you want to see some of her work without the Flash, just put her name into Google. Here is the Agfa site with her photographs: http://www.agfanet.com/en/cafe/portfolio/pf200111/cont_02.php3?mode=archive but it is not the most recent stuff which looks more painterly to me. I think it must be more than just the film, but I have looked at every Google connection and can't find out her cameras or lenses. The technology is not as important as the content, but I would love to know how she gets that look.
