| I've had a life long passion for photography that began in early childhood. Still, I ended up in front of the camera working as a fitness model for almost a decade. It was great training in posing and making a contrived scene look spontaneous and natural. I was able to see which lighting looked great and which lighting didn't work well. I'm able to utilize all my fitness modeling experiance in my photography today. Most importantly, I've had some fantastic photographers mentor me in picture taking. As for my personal photography style, my favorite pictures are the ones that look real, spontaneous, and unposed. I can quickly detect when something looks contrived and bring life and freshness back into the scene. I like having the element of joy, love, and idyllic lifestyle in my pictures to inspire the best in all of us. |
