Translated into English, the title of the book, ‘Espagne, La lumière Retrouvée’, means, ‘ Spain, The light Rediscovered’. This image of the village of Huélamo in the Sierra de Cuenca is exactly that. The image wasn’t planned; Michelle was driving to another destination and the light compelled her to stop.

Michelle Chaplow's work has been published worldwide in magazines, newspapers, books, leaflets, corporate brochures and websites.

According to Michelle, “The pleasure gained from sharing photographs in publications is indeed a treasure in itself.”
