Helen Bradley - - photographer, writer, scrapbook designer, artist

I'm Helen Bradley, an expatriate
Australian writer of photography, computer and scrapbooking articles.

I live in sunny California and I write cool hands-on tutorials for editing photos, using software and making scrapbook pages and paper crafts. That's what life should be about - having fun - and my job is all about fun.

I write heaps of columns on digital photography. I even have my own "Ask Helen" column in Digital Photo Effects magazine. I teach everyone from computer users to scrapbookers how to take great photos and how to fix not so great photos. I also design scrapbook pages for some wonderful scrapbook magazines and of course, I write articles on computer software.

My columns appear in some of the world's best and biggest magazines: from the US to the UK and Australia and beyond. Check out my work page to see which magazines in your country carry my work.

I love what I do, and I do what I love. I've turned what was my hobby: photography, computers and scrapbooking, into a job.

For fun, I front the camera for our local PBS station KRCB Channel 22 in Northern California to help the station raise money from its viewers. I'm also working on new books and more fun craft columns.

For recreation, I study dressage, I see heaps of movies at the local art house cinema and I read trashy novels. I watch more movies at home on my PC than I care to admit to (thanks Netflix!), I play with polymer clay and altered books, I scrapbook and read and study art. I've even been known to write short fiction.
