The camera image seemed magic, and yes, better than life. I was hooked! On Jul 17, 2008, my life course in photography changed as a result of a casual decision. I participated in a group shoot of amateur models. It was a challenge to get the best possible image of a living, breathing, moving person. Today, I work with women and men, and assisting them in building their portfolio. I focus on “pin up” type shoots. I enjoy the "pretend" aspect that helps the subject relax and play with the camera.
