About Me


"A picture will survive so smile and look alive, the camera lens is opening, the wider angle's yours." - Incubus
Hey! I'm Nina. I'm a photography major at the International Academy of Design and Technology in Tampa, Florida. I'm one course shy of my Associate's degree (so close I can smell it!), so [hopefully] I'll be finishing up sometime in the near future. My number one passion is concert photography; It's what I love the most, and there's really nothing else I'd rather do as a professional career. I prefer shooting with naturally provided light over flash anyday, though when there's not enough to work with, I don't mind using flash...it can give a cool effect sometimes. I don't like spending more time on photoshop than I do the with the actual time I spend shooting... I like to actually create my vision when I shoot it, rather than in post edit work. I value any feedback, so please, check out my work and tell me what you think! I'm in the process of making 2 sites right now, one will be an online portfolio and the other is still under wraps and can't be revealed just yet! ;)
I do my very best to support and promote good local music in the area, in any way I can.
*Right now I'm currently back home in Beckley, WV. Just temporarily... until I get my feet back on the ground financially.
