I Started as a Photographer

My intrigue for photography began, like most, when I was a kid. My father was a photographer as a supplement to his career as an art teacher. I would stare at the candid photos he took of my mother and hung in our garage, which was his make-shift studio. I loved how he froze a moment with the camera that the naked eye might have missed. My affinity for photography grew when I started modeling. To see a model transformed from a regular person to a piece of art amazed me. I no longer wanted to be the art; I wanted to create it. Although I like shooting still life, my favorite thing to shoot is people. I love to capture a feeling or a moment in a person's eyes and display it for others to define. If you look at a photo I took or a film that I directed and it makes you feel sad or makes you smile then I have done my job well.
