| A photograph is a secret about a secret, the more it tells you the less you know." -Diane Arbus I like to play in all the pretty colors. I've been doing mine and others hair and makeup professionally for about 10-15 years backstage in ballet and theatre. I've been doing makeup for print for the past 2 years. I picked up a camera probably about 8 yrs old. I was the girl with the camera backstage and the girl who's grandmother was consistently irritated by the amount of film i blew through. I remember when film camera's went digital and thinking how cool it was that it wound the film on it's own! BACKWARDS! I keep saying I don't shoot people. But as you can tell i really do love to take a good beauty shot or portrait. I'm completely obsessed with the wickedly boring things out there, shapes, lines, shadows. They are the real story tellers to me. Another love of mine is travel and photo-journalism, and hope to focus on that as I continue to grow and learn as a photographer. However. I happen to have an attractive circle of friends. I love these girls, and i love takin' pictures of them when the model hat isn't on. I guess I'll always be that girl backstage with a camera... A far as the retouching goes- being a painter and a makeup artist, it was a natural transition. I'm just a slave to photography.... |
