What do you love to photograph the most?
My first loves are landscapes & wildlife, but the list of photographic interests has grown considerably over the years.
What is one thing you have learned that has improved your photography?
I used to believe that mastering the technical aspects would take my photography to the next level, but addressing the artistic elements of photography is the key to transforming typical two-dimensional pictures into creative, evocative, multi-layered images.
Advice you’d give to others wanting to grow in their photography skills:
Challenge yourself to experiment with different genres of photography to expand and hone your skills. Last year I participated in a new genre – fine art nude photography. I gained a new appreciation for light interacting with form, and that learning improved my portraiture.
