I've created this site as a way for me to share my experience with my friends and family. I wanted everyone to be a part of my career. I will always need subjects to shoot and advice to listen to!
For those who don't know much about me let me explain. I graduated in May of 2007. I went to college with a huge passion for photography, but soon after I lost that passion. The stress and pressure of deadlines and being forced to be creative,
original and the best really takes a toll after a while. Critque days were the worst. I dreaded them. Putting your hard work on a wall and listen to a group of people tell you what you did wrong is hard to take to week after week. After I while I began to think I wasn't good enough to be a freelance photographer. My work wasn't any good in the critque room, why should I think it would be any good in the real world? At that point I picked up another concentration so I had something to fall back on since in my mind photography wasn't going to happen for me.
By my junior year I had given up on my dream of being a photographer and focused on my studies in communtication. Trying to find something that interests me enough to make a career out of it. I finished all my photography courses the best I could and graduated with a degree in photography and professional communications. I focused on my internship at Dynasty Model and Talent. I wanted to work towards becoming a booking agent, and I edventually became the manager of the baby division. I loved that job. I had a job that I loved to talk about...but something was still missing. I watched the photoshoots as much as I could and I loved to look through the images and create compostion cards.
Unfortunately I could not stay there. There were many factors why but the main issue was I was spending most of what I making on my commute in and out of work everyday. It was time to get a "real" job. One with good benefits and a company to grow within. That's the kind of job everyone is supposed to have right? Well I thought so. I've been working at Arbella Insurance for 6 months now, and the company is great to work for, but it doesn't make me proud to tell people what I do for work.
I realize that I need to stop wasting time and just jump in head first and see what I can do. I can never suceed if I never try. So enjoy the site, give me you opioion and if you ever want me to be your photographer just let me know!
