By: 100PercentPublishing About the book: The world around us is full of magic and '100% Simply Perfect Photographs' attests to that fact. The theme of 100% Simply Perfect Photographs is purely that – the things in our every day lives that are simply perfect as they are. I am a photographer. I click the shutter once and once only and capture ‘what is’ in that precise moment. Fortunately for me, that moment in time has more often than not looked exactly how my heart saw it. The world truly is full to bursting with simply perfect beauty and wonderment. Art IS how your heart sees things, isn't it? Sometimes everything is clear and crisp, other times it seems black and white but most of the time it's filled with joy, happiness and a rainbow of all the colours and shades experienced by man. My heart has captured every image that you see in 100% Simply Perfect Photographs. Hopefully, they will capture yours, too. In my experience, ordinary people can be extraordinary but that is something that comes from within and has nothing to do with their external appearance, it’s not a judgment of their physical attributes. It is for that reason alone that I very rarely photograph people, tending to only capture them if there is something extraordinary about the shape their silhouette, or movement is making. Nature on the other hand: flora, fauna, landscapes, views and vistas are a never ending source of wonderment to me and you will find numerous examples of every day simply perfect sights: trees, flowers, sunsets, animals, oceans – the world around us. Finally, art created by other’s hearts and talents that stopped me in my tracks and made me marvel in awe and where their permission has generously been given to include my photographs of their masterpieces, completes 100% Simply Perfect Photographs. *Some of those images include: the Urban Lights installation at LACMA, professional rodeo cowboys in Santa Fe, Felix The Cat, Carney’s, classic gas pumps in Embudo, Las Vegas original neon, the Fiori Di Como, the Taos Pueblo, the pyramids at Giza and so on. About the photographer: Toula Mavridou-Messer bought a second-hand Nikon camera from a professional photographer in 2005 and hasn’t looked back. Initially she thought that the spirit of the camera’s former owner had somehow become stuck in the internal workings and was enabling her to get such amazing shots. Over time she realised that she had been blessed with an ‘eye’ and an innate skill for photography. Apart from being a talented photographer, Toula Mavridou-Messer is also an extremely gifted author. She and her graphic designer husband James are the brains behind the series of 100% Photography books and two best-selling works of fiction. The first book is a 5-star rated murder mystery, entitled Mortal End: A Simmering Pit of Jiggery Pokery written in a Victorian Gothic style reminiscent of Dickens and Poe. The second is the perfect read for every member of the family, Pocketful of Poesies: Absolutely All Artful Alliterations, in which every amusing story is written with words starting with the same letter - no ifs, ands, or buts! Before dedicating her life to creating books, Toula Mavridou-Messer was one of the world's most successful Celebrity Producers, working on some of television’s biggest shows on both sides of the Atlantic. Toula Mavridou-Messer, member of the American Photography Association, shares her favourite images in this wonderful collection of 100% Simply Perfect Photographs. In her own words, “Art IS how your heart sees things, isn’t it? Sometimes everything is clear and crisp, other times it seems black and white but most of the time it’s filled with joy, happiness and a rainbow of all the colours and shades experienced by man.“ “My heart has captured every image that you see in our book. Hopefully, they will capture yours, too. One of the greatest photographers of all time, Ansel Adams, summed it all up for me with this perfect quote, “Sometimes I arrive just when God’s ready to have someone click the shutter.” Further information: 100% Simply Perfect Photographs by Toula Mavridou-Messer is is a coffee table book with 142 pages featuring c. 200 original and powerful images, available from Amazon priced at $28.99/ £16.99.
