I didn’t set out to be a photographer, it just kind of happened. It was LOVE at first sight!
I have spent a lot of time reflecting on things such as what is my “style” of photography. Style comes with time and is a difficult thing to force. My style has been described by others as very straight forward and clean. I think more important than style is being aware of the literal nature of the image I see and striving to go beyond that in an aesthetic sense to create a captivating image. I really believe that if the time is right a photo will just happen. I do edit my work but nothing to the extent where my photos become ‘artificial’ or entirely ‘fictional’.
I began as a -friend- photographer, where I took pictures of myself and my friends simply for documentation sake. This was with my first 35mm Nikon camera. Eventually people started complimenting my shots and really encouraged me to take things beyond just snapping away. Someone very close to me bought me my first HP digital camera around 2003. I started taking pictures of everyone and everything I could because Digital really made everything that much easier. In 2006 I saved up some money and bought myself a much better rated Canon -point-and-shoot- which became my primary until I started displaying my photos in a gallery. I realized very quickly that although compact and easy my camera just was not doing what I needed. After a lot of saving in 2008 I purchased a Canon Rebel Xsi which I still use today. This really allows me to make all the necessary adjustments and the freedom to take any type of picture I want with accuracy and clarity. The lenses that I frequently use are a 100mm Canon 2.8 Macro, 18-55mm Canon IS, 70-200mm Canon L 2.8 with IS.
I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I enjoy taking them. Comments are appreciated as long as they are constructive.
