Kathleen/Esens Fragrances & Photography

About Me

Like you, I am many many things. While I work a regular full time job, my heart is really in my custom perfume and photography businesses, Esens Fragrances and Photography (http://www.esens.com). I'm finding my way to live my passions fully. I love being exposed to lots of ideas and activities so I am interested in hearing what you have to say and what you do.With photography, I love to capture people as naturally and candidly as possible. It it like being the observer and witness to someone who often doesn't really know just how amazing they are. I want people to see themselves in a way that is honest and honorable. I'll post photos from time to time. I have photographed lots of musicians, productions, and community events. I am most alive when I am photographing. One can take literally 1000's of images to get one that is so essential, pure and rare. What ecstasy when that happens. It is being completely sympatico with ones subject.As a custom perfumer, I watch people change in their mood and energy just by attending to them and creating for them a fragrance that is, in essence, their personal atmosphere. This happens whether I work with a person directly in a face-to-face appointment or over the internet. It is a very ancient, intuitive art form that is honed daily. I still feel like a neophyte after 17 years of custom blending but I love serving women, men and couples in this way.I am inspired by artists and visionaries of all types. I look forward to hearing from you. My work in both my businesses is affordable, fair, and honest.

The Fire Series

This is a small sampling of a series I shot during a gathering of intimate friends who were making music around a fire of hundreds of tapered candles in the summer of 2005 in Denver, Colorado.
