About Me

I am a model turned photographer. I began photography at the age of six and now also dabble in oil paintings and fashion design as well. I also adore curating, probably due to my slightly controlling personality. I am obsessed with documentation and everything real and tangible, yet I do still have a strong belief in God. My company is Luckwings- fine art photography, commercial photography,oil paintings and a fashion line all rolled into one. I opened her when I turned 18 and have worked my ass off to keep her (my company of course) so please don't e-mail me asking for anything free. My rates are the best out there and I firmly support the underdog.I rarely work in studios and prefer to shoot on location.I am currently raising funds to go to Ghana as a volunteer. Many of you have been wanting to donate from afar so please contribute.Use email account [email protected] . Every single cent is appreciated. .. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Begin Official PayPal Seal -- I've been told I'm not as nice as I think I am so beware.
