My passion

Photography is my Passion , it became my life, when I am holding a camera it makes me feel as if I am someone else. What I can do, becomes my control and what I see, I feel like I have an eye for what I am doing .It’s hard to explain how I work with the camera and what I see and how I take that image and it’s what I saw with my own eyes. Its something you have to take within , and relax and flow with life and time . To capture a person’s expression at any moment of time is something people take for granted , you see it then it is gone in a second, but to make that second last longer is amazing.
What I get from taking my photographs is the people, to see something within that person and making come alive with a photograph. Also you can see at what point of time, what you were doing, where you were, what you looked like, its amazing to look back and see what you were, and what you are now. To capture the natural state of a human being, it tells a story, whether happy or sad, what I try to do with my photography is capturing the moments, but then also combining studio pieces within the natural states. Getting the real smile might take a little longer, you have to get to know someone , and that comes along in photography, someone that is not used to having photographs taken of them, get nervous, want to look good, doesn’t know how to react. You just have to talk them through it, as well making them comfortable as if there is no camera involved .
How I take my pictures is creative , and you have to have a creative mind to see what you are looking for in that photograph. As well as knowing your camera, and the object that is the main subject , like a spot light , and blocking out everything else, in order to have a great picture is also the background, does everything go for what that person stands for , does it some how reflect a pond them .
What do you see when you look at a photograph, what makes it a great image , a piece of art ?
When you look at a picture you see the story being told without words being said.
You see the beauty of the scene, of the person , a piece of their lives being shared.

Photo journalist is what I would like to be called, but yet a portrait photographer as well.
