[This is Me]
I got my first SLR (film) camera in 2000 as a Christmas present from my family. To say I have never looked back is an understatement. I immediately fell in love with photography, and although I can look back and laugh at my first attempts, today I continuously strive to improve, learn and share my passion of photography. My first business Northern Exposure Photograffix, started in 2004.
My first job as a photographer was with a community newspaper, the Monitor. I took the social and sports photos, and it is here that I started to learn the more technical aspects of photography. I joined a local camera club and although I moved shortly afterwards, that tiny little spark inside me had started to burn.
In the last 10 or so years, I have been doing weddings casually, a family shoot here and there, and at the same time working a busy family business full time. As the new year begins, I find myself feeling drawn back to the pull of the creativity and need to take photographs seriously once again.
I have enjoyed photographing dance concerts for many years now, and now consider it one of my favourite genres, taking over my beloved sports! The opportunities this has presented to me is immeasurable, and I truely thank the dance families for allowing me to capture their children in the craziest weeks of their lives!
Last year I helped to begin a local photography club, to share and encourage others to follow their own interests in photography. I'm now the President of a group of people that I can totally relate to and talk about all things photography. I also joined the Australian Photographic Society. I've read their website from page to page, and when the opportunity presented itself, I volunteered to help produce a magazine for the APS Digital group called the Monitor. I have come full circle! It is most definitely a sign that I am on the right path!
Now, as I unveil my new look, new name and new website, I feel encouraged that my portraiture and wedding photography has taken another turn, and instead of taking a back seat, is now once again another creative outlet for me. I look forward to capturing your personality, your smiles and meeting your families soon.
kindest regards,
