I think it is very rare to find someone that really and truly loves their job.
I consider myself extremely lucky, because I am passionate about what I do. Working with my camera is my art. Whatever the job is, from fashion photography to an interior shoot, I always try my best to make it unique; to make it my own.
A couple of years ago I put a studio in my house. I work in there most days, photographing anything from fashion to portraits; from still life to catalogue work. And I often work on location too.
I regularly hear clients say, “I’m not very photogenic”. Some are camera shy and extremely nervous at the beginning of the shoot. This is a favourite part of my job; because I find it so lovely when they come back and are totally shocked that they actually really love all their images and how supremely confident they look in them all!
I direct my clients from the minute we start shooting. I use techniques to make them feel comfortable, so that they get used to being in front of the camera straight away.
Most photographers specialize in a specific type of photography; but I can’t seem to decide on just one style! I relish photographing lifestyle, fashion, beautiful scenery, animals, someone’s one special day. I love taking all sorts of photographs in all sorts of situations.
It’s so exciting to get to a shoot that I have never done before. For me, life is all about trying new things and challenging myself on all different levels.
