Behind the Lens Insights
Welcome to “Behind the Lens Insights,” a blog dedicated to sharing the fascinating world of professional photography through my 20+ years of experience. Here, you’ll find stories about my diverse assignments, including fashion catalogs, product photography, and business headshots. Additionally, I love documenting my journey with Nina, my talented dog model, as she embarks on her own acting career. This blog serves as a platform for me to share not only the projects I work on with clients but also my personal creative endeavors.
Moreover, I delve into various events, such as film premieres and architectural photography, capturing the essence of each moment. Each post is designed to provide valuable insights into my process, showcasing the unique stories behind each project. By sharing these experiences, I aim to inspire fellow photographers and provide useful advice for those aspiring to make photography their full-time profession.
In addition to client work, I also highlight my artistic side through the ArtChick Collective, where I explore surreal self-portraits. This section focuses on my creative process, showcasing how I compile images to tell compelling stories, as well as the themes and challenges that arise during editing. I believe that sharing my successes and the lessons learned from mistakes can greatly benefit those on a similar journey.
Furthermore, if you’re looking for a commercial photographer to document your fashion, product, or business needs, or even if you require a talented dog model for your advertisements, you’ve come to the right place. I invite you to explore the blog, sign up for updates, and join me as we navigate the exciting world of photography together!
