Carla Butler

Hi there! Well I am a photographer and digital artist, as well as a graphic and web designer based in sunny Jersey, in the Channel Islands. Back in the summer of 2013, I formed the company Shiny Koala to bring together my various elements of creativity and design. Through the arm of Shiny Koala, I offer various graphic and web design services along with social media consultancy. Under my own name, my artistic and creative skills shine through, from the stunning photography I capture to the skillfully drawn pieces of digital art and illustration. In early 2014, I was made a member of Genuine Jersey, an initiative in Jersey to showcase local talent and their products through the use of the Genuine Jersey mark – "the guarantee of local provenance". Various products and businesses benefit from the Genuine Jersey mark, from the Dairy to potato growers to jewellery makers and artists, and I am proud to be one of these. Having been a traditional artist from an early age, I have developed my digital artistic skills over the last 4 years. My love of photography was not neglected and since my mid-teens, I have been creating art using only a camera. Now using several Nikon D-SLRs, I have been exploring different areas of photography but never forgetting to capture the stunning beauty that is Jersey. I am currently expanding into more mainstream photography areas such as weddings, portraiture, events, commercial and food.
