Photography has been my hobby since I was in high school. I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine arts degree from Savannah College of Art and Design in Painting in 2001. After college I was working as a professional painter selling my art as a self-employed artist. It was a year later after college when I started taking photography more seriously. I have been shooting professionally for 6 years now.
I can honestly say that art and photography is my passion. I love everything about it. It's part of who I am and what I am born to do. Beside painting and photography, I also enjoy modeling. I think being in front of the camera really helps me understand the modeling side of the business. I am able to coach and become a better creative director and photographer. I also love styling.
What makes a photo shoot more successful to is that you have to know what you are looking for. When you are on set shooting, you should know what you want. Being able to direct models is very helpful. Go after your ideas and concepts. Trust your eyes and know what works and don't work. When you are shooting try not to control models too much. Let them do their thing so they can be more comfortable with themselves. It's important that your subject is comfortable with you and they can perform better on set.
