MOTIVATION

I'm an artistic person with an eye for capturing the unnoticed of articulate photisms. My motivator and idol, Annie Lebovitz, inspires me when she takes photos of famous actors in a fairy-tale-like theme that creates a godly atmosphere.

I'm a fun, creative, outdoors person and find pleasure in making people feel good about themselves by using love, life and laughter themes in my work.

When I take photos, I like to do it perfect and would like to capture that godliness impression that Annie Lebovits has succeeded in.
