As an artist I am drawn to rich colors, strong graphics and scenes that intrigue and excite me. Whether it's a store window with reflections that carry my eye back and forth between the mannequins on the inside and the people on the street...or beautifully displayed vegetables in a local market in Paris or people enjoying the model boat pond in Central Park...my photos convey a you-are-there feeling. The slices of everyday life throughout my work reveal my love of architecture, fashion, the market place and beach and country life. I create photographs that combine my feelings for color, interesting justapositions and humor...and my deep passion for photography into images that I hope make you stop and look twice.

Babs Armour is an award-winning NYC based photographer whose work has been widely exhibited and sold. Her store window photography was featured on ABC's Good Morning America and on WCBS-TV, and appeared as a cover story on VM&SD, a design industry magazine.

Babs's photographs are included in both private and corporate collections, including the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in NYC and American Express Financial Services in Minneapolis, MN. They have also been published in magazines and books and one image was chosen as the cover for the book Upper Cape Cod, A Photographic Portrait.

In his Harry Abrams book, How To Look at Everything, David Finn wrote: "Babs Armour had the imagination to capture with her camera street reflections on windows intermingled with the objects inside producing surreal effects."

Babs grew up in New England where she studied art beginning at age six, but it was not until 1989 in a course at the International Center of Photography that she discovered that it was the camera that gave her the ability to fully express herself visually. Photography has been her passion ever since.

Babs is a member and former board member of Professional Women Photographers.
