I am a eighteen year old photographer who LOVES life, adventure, meeting new people, and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
About this session:
A session that started off as two girls experimenting with makeup and lighting rapidly turned into something so much more!
Whenever I show my dad photos I take he always says, ” Great, what’s the story?” I will normally give some kind of response that does not make much sense. But once I delivered the images to my model, the photos became so much more precious. She responded with the following:
“It’s kind of amazing what these photos have done! I showed these images to my grandma. Then she showed me a picture from back in the day. A lady had her face painted similar to mine. She said a represented Black history month in Africa. Back in the day during birthday parties or celebrations they would all paint their faces up and celebrate together each color of paint mean something. It’s amazing that an unknown idea can turn into such an incredible thing! My grandma is going to frame one of the portraits for her house, and place it with her other old stuff that is similar to my face paint. This is absolutely amazing.”
All of a sudden these images have a more depth and meaning then I could ever hope to create.
Gear: Canon 6d + 50mm f/1.4 + 85mm f/1.8
Why Photography: For me, photography is a way to connect and reach out to people everywhere. I have been able to connect with people in foreign countries by taking their picture and then showing it to them. I have been able to do photo shoots with young girls and make them feel beautiful. It is a versatile and beautiful art that I am passionate about!
How does your relationship with Jesus effect your work?
I strive to represent my Lord well in everything that I do! Photography is another outlet I like to use to connect with people and show God’s love to them.
