This started originally as a hobby, just taking pictures of friends, and whatever else catches my eye. But now i realize that this is more than just a hobby, it can be a profession. Now, i know i am far from a professional Photographer. I would never call myself one. but i'm still learning, and i think when it comes to photography, whether it be at the amateur or professional level, you will always be learning new things. But for now i am just happy photographing anything at all. I love photography, it's therapeutic if anything. I just wish i had more time to dedicate to photography. i work full time and only really have nights and weekends to really focus on it.
you can't create a great moment, they just happen. you need to capture it before it's gone. Everything I take a picture of, I try to think of it as a new invention for someone to see. If it comes out perfect it is because I put my heart into it. And if the viewer likes it, it is because his or her heart and emotions accepted it. I can't sing, I can't paint and I can't write how I feel, so all I have left is photography to express myself.
I'm currently looking to expand my portfolio and develop working relationships with models and bands. I'm more than happy to work with models and bands of all ranges. I love to experiment and will be more than happy to work with your ideas.
If you're more comfortable in a conventional studio setup and require a makeup person, I'm really not the photographer for you... at least not right now. At this time, I don't have a dedicated studio and work with a mix of available light and studio lights... so be prepared to improvise! I see photography as a collaborative process between the model and the photographer... so your ideas are welcome.
So if you like what you see, let me know. I would love to know what you think. And if you would like to be photographed, whether it's your band playing a show, or perhaps for a portfolio or press kit, i would love to be a part of it. Please feel free to contact me for any reason at all. Thank you for taking the time to check out my photographs.
