I am NOT a pretty girl…

I have always been good at taking photographs.  Mostly of myself, because let’s face it… I genuinely love myself.  Taking pictures is expression, without words.  It is my form of visual creativity.

The female body is amazing.  The soft curves, different sizes and shapes, the ability to look amazing naked when most men can never achieve that (well there ARE some).

There is NOTHING in the world like hooking up some ghetto lighting, slipping into some fantastically sexy clothing, popping in some soft, sweet, acoustic music, propping my camera up n my tripod, setting the timer and going to town.  It makes you feel sexy, wanted, IMPORTANT… but in a non-shallow way.  In an artistic way.

Any cute girl can walk down the street and demand attention, that is easy.  Demanding attention from a camera, which captures every imperfection on your body AND soul, is a gift.  Looking perfect through the lens of a camera is difficult to achieve, but certainly attainable.

In short, while taking photographs of myself and other women is not my lifelong aspiration, I am good at it.
