UNDERWATER FINE ART PORTRAITURE WITH MARGARET HINES
Margaret Hines is a self-taught Whitby-based photographer and has been shooting professionally since 2006.

challenging new type of photographic expression she’d been searching for.
Her works have appeared in or been featured by Vistek Canada, Scotiabank Contact Magazine, Applied Arts Magazine, Epson Canada and Elaine Fleck Gallery, and have received a number of national and international awards. Margaret is also a Canadian Ambassador for Ikelite Underwater Housing Systems.
