The kinds of commercial images Ann Elliott Cutting is likely to be called on to create for her clients are interpretive, fanciful, or elaborate illustrations of ideas and concepts.

The adage, “To get a fresh point of view in your photography, try a new lens,” was never truer than when applied to so-called fisheyes.
