About Me |
|
*To all of those I have promised a photo shoot for --please give me a few weeks to recuperate considering I am very sick and I have a lot of work to get out over the next couple of weeks or so. I have not forgotten about you!* Photography = HappinessI'll shoot almost anything, anyone, anywhere, simply because I love what I do. I enjoy a full range of photography such as music/concerts, portraits/fashion, weddings/events, animals/nature, and sports. To view all styles and full archives of my photography, check out my flickr page.I'm a 22 year old Florida International University student residing in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, FL area. I'm not studying photography, i'm finishing up my degree in Psychology and moving on to my masters in counseling (guidance education). I would really like to become a teacher while working through my masters, but because of the economy going downhill and the first thing this country does to cut costs is get rid of education, my source of income has become my job in retail and wedding/event photography. I'm happily married with two children (cats, not humans), and wonderful, supportive friends!I have a very emotional connection to concert photography through my love of music and it has become a major part of my photo collection. I'm thankful to be working with the publications I am with, and I am always open to meeting others involved in the industry. I also have experience in interviewing musicians and writing reviews for publications. Regardless of the obvious, I still refuse to call myself a photojournalist. The love for what I do doesn't make it feel like a job.Please feel to contact me regarding my photography or services. The following are samples of my concert photography. You're able to see more in my portfolio by checking out my pics section. I also put entire sets up in my blogs usually a few days after I attend a show. I also love taking pictures of local bands, it sometimes provides a challenge for me considering the poor lighting conditions, but it leaves a lot of room for creativity and some happy musicians! This is where my promotional pictures are supposed to go. Unfortunately, I only have very few pictures for my Promotional Portfolio, so I'd like to wait a little longer to get some more to show! If you're a band that is interested in getting some promo pictures, please contact me about rates (if any) depending on assignment. I love to shoot portraits, especially exotic gothic type of shoots. I still love to shoot glamor, couples, even kids and animals.
