Created to show the individuality of each animal, I aim to capture those great things that make each animal the uniquely amazing soul they are . . . Each animal has a story to tell, and I love being a part of capturing it. "Photographs... they capture a moment that's gone forever, impossible to reproduce." I've always been hooked on artistic mediums - digital art, sketches, painting, and the list
continues on. Nothing ever came out how I imagined it, and my skill level edged closer but not quite there. The spontaneous desire for a "real camera" came over me and I just had to try photography as a true hobby. I played with my point-and-shoot for a while before getting the privilege to borrow someone else's camera for a weekend (a spectacular high end Canon from a few years ago). From my first click, I was hooked. The possibilities and products were endless, and the results were always awing to me. Something that is seen every day, normally not noticed by the naked eye, or just never thought about, was able to be captured and immortalized forever, never to happen again. That power compelled me to finally buy my own camera, improve as much as possible, and shoot anything that moved (and many things that didn't!). Always having had a passion for animals, I never had a doubt that I would be led to taking pictures of them, and it didn't take long for my lens to be full of some sort of animal. Leading me to where I am today. I fully believe in using photography as a way to capture things as they are. I'm not a fan of posed photographs, and think they come out feeling posed. My preference is without a doubt candid and action shots, as well as shots where training may play a part, but doesn't take over. Especially for dog + another species pictures, I think all the best pictures are ones that happen on their own.
