Happy Superbowl Sunday my dear readers! I’m not much of a football fan, but I imagine the day must be quite exciting for the sports enthusiasts out there. Despite the occasion, this will not be a post about how to shoot better sports and action photos. . . .
This is a post I have been meaning to write for a while. It’s a post for all my friends and colleagues who have come to me over the years asking the seemingly simple yet actually very problematical question: WHAT CAMERA SHOULD I BUY? . . .
Today the cover photograph you are seeing is going on exhibit in New York City. I am extremely honored and thrilled to be part of a large collective of women photographers whose work will be shown for the next several days in one of the largest cities in the world. . . .
A very exciting thing has happened to me last year: I have been chosen as one of the finalists for Street Photo Milano exhibit in Milan, Italy. It’s a great honor and my first international exhibit of one of my travel photographs. . . .
There are many reasons I love to travel, but one of the most important ones that keep me going is to experience the beauty this Earth has to offer in many corners of the world. From the highest peaks of distant mountains to the crashing waves of infinite oceans, being able to surround myself with nature energizes me and reminds me of the tiny place I occupy in this world. . . .
I have been thinking a lot recently about how social media affects photography and influences certain style. There are specific trends on Instagram for example that keep cropping up consistently and I feel as if there is tremendous pressure to follow them. . . .
Since I have actually acquired quite a number of people portraits over the years, I wanted to share some more with everyone on this blog. I noted that my previous entry was received very well and I cannot be more excited about that. . . .
I have never been drawn to any genre of photography more than people portraits. Travel portraits, to be specific. From early days I have been strongly influenced by the work of National Geographic photographers, especially Steve McCurry and William Albert Allard. . . .
Many times we snap pictures to document something beautiful, but we don’t realize that it is memories we are making. Tangible memories that can be revisited and relived anytime we pick up that photo (hopefully we’ve printed the digitals because prints, let’s face it, are just sooo much better). . . .
I love shooting during the “golden hour.” All you aspiring and seasoned photographers out there know that I am referring to that time of the day when the sun is low in the sky and gives off this beautiful golden hue that makes everything look pretty, no matter what it is. . . .
I am what I’d call “a struggling artist.” Not in the strict sense of the word where you’d imagine me sitting in a corner of some street in Europe, enticing any passerby for a portrait painting session, trudging to make a living. I’d call myself “struggling” because everyday I find myself faced with obstacles to my creative inner forces. . . .
