What has been your favorite style of shooting lately?

I am in love with what I call “Documentart”. I love to set up scenes, dig into my “tickle trunk” for props and then shoot what I hope are for the most part humorous depictions of everyday life. I am forever on the look out for willing ‘victims’ …. errr, models!

What was the first photo you ever submitted to 52Frames?

I was thrilled that I was able to capture the movement of the water and the movement of the umbrella at the same time. I also love the colour tones in this photograph.

One tip you’d like to share?

Have fun! Try everything! Practice, practice, practice! Take a picture every single day.

Why is 52Frames meaningful to you?

It holds me accountable! I love to try photographing different subject matters and different techniques while at the same time maintaining my own unique style. I really enjoy viewing how everyone interprets the prompts and executes their art.
