1. Please tell us about yourself...
Newbie photographer, actually a
designer and dressmaker, but I view my self a “creativinista”, (if there is
even such a word) always exploring new ways to express myself. I love to create
something meaningful for other people. Wife to a very handsome man and mama to
my precious 2 year old girl Charlotte, whom is my inspiration everyday.
(…and I’m a horrible housewife!)
2. Can you describe your style in 3 words? Why
those words?
mmmm… You guys are killing, now I
really have to think…
Selfish…LOL! I say this because I firstly and mostly
create images for myself. But love to create something that speaks to other
people as well and that they enjoy.
Emotive…I try to capture a feeling,
mood, emotion, or memory, something deeper.
Intriguing… I would love to the
viewer to be intrigued by the image, To want to know more about it but at the
same time the image must allow them to make or finish their own story. A reason
why I love B&W. It allows for different interpretations and emotions.
3. What sparked your passion for photography?
Capturing the precious moments and
memories in Charlotte
But wanting to be able to photograph
my own dress designs and creations in a more artistic and emotive style was
probably the first thing I wanted to accomplish with photography… so its
something I’m really going to explore in the future.
4. What's in your camera bag right now?
All the photography stuff I own. Ok
I don’t even really own it…I actually bought the camera for my husband’s 30th
birthday 3 years ago. I kinda hi-jacked it now! LOL!
A Canon Eos and the two standard
lenses that came with it. Don’t even ask for any specs!
(I don’t know what aperture or ISO
mean. I had to google OOF a few weeks ago before I could submit a photo for a
challenge. )
Oh… and a legwarmer…haha! I pull it
over the lens and body when I free lens. Hubby almost got a heart attack the
first time I took of the lens on my first free lens try about a month ago. So
this just helps ease his nerves since I’m now addicted to it!
5. What is your dream shoot or
project?
…a girl in a lace dress on the back
of a horse, with flowers in her hair and the wind blowing… see how I get
carried away!!
6. What are some of the
misconceptions you had about photography and photographers at the beginning of
your photography journey? Have they changed, and how?
So far I’m so pleasantly surprised
by all the support and motivation I get from all you very talented people. I
didn’t expect that.
7. What advice would you give to newbie
photographers? What advice do you wish you'd been given at the very beginning?
Oh my goodness…I’m a newbie!! But best
advice I received during this month long journey I’ve just embarked on… is these
wise words from Amber Privizzini …”create from your heart’ AWESOME, isn’t it?
This will be my goal and inspiration in the future… the best advise that I could
get so in the beginning of it all.
That it’s ok to create for myself.
That only when you are truly self in love with your own work, will other people
also love it. And to still love it, even if someone else doesn’t. This is you!
And you are marvellous!
