Chrissy - Introducing Fascinating Beauty

Since I was 18 I have been intrigued by beauty. For most of the years since then I thought people saw the same as me and that same beauty. In 2004 I was blessed with a conversation with a friend discussing this portrait.

He knew the subject and commented even though he found her attractive he never saw her the same way as I did in the creation of this portrait. Intrigued by his response I shared other portraits of mutual friends and have gained an insight that inspires me to this day.

To me these images arrive naturally. I see the person, connect with them, gain their trust and let the photography begin. Through my teaching I discuss the 3 phases of producing quality imagery - creation, manipulation & presentation. Typically I spend 60% shooting, 30% manipulating and 10% presenting - in this case the blog.

I have struggled with an appropriate outlet for my imagery including traditional portraits, family shoots, personal gathering, weddings and art shows. Like the introduction of digital imagery Blogs have introduced a path to share my passion and develop a way to share they way I see.

With this entry I am beginning a very personal part of my vision and the passion I have for the fascinating beauties I have met. In the near term I am working on a project that will result in 100+ portraits in a book, featured in an art show and provided a canvas print in addition to the portrait session.
