Capturing Genuine Emotion Through Photography
Some may say that you need to pack your bags and go shoot, but what does that mean? Spontaneity is that adventure you have always been craving, those late date nights that leave you dancing in the rain, and those moments where your heart cannot stop racing. The most thrilling attitude is to stop scheduling your practice as an obligation and to begin shooting as an instinct. This ability to shoot under practicality and add significant emotions to your shot is (what I call) dynamic shooting.

A Dancer in the Park
I recently reached out to a local Nashville dancer, Lizzie, who is also a choreographer and dance instructor here in town. I expressed interest in photographing her and capturing some beautiful poses in Centennial Park in Nashville near the Parthenon, which she responded with excitement to collaborate on this with me.

How To Find a Great Location for Your Photoshoot
No matter where in the world you are, there's a photoshoot location right around the corner. Notice how I didn't say a pretty location, or even an interesting location. I can't guarantee that you live in a vibrant city with a glistening skyline, nor that you're surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes. What I do know for sure is that you don't need to stray far from home to take some incredible photos.

Book a Model For Your Next Photoshoot Using this Simple Tip
When I first started out in photography, I would take self-portrait after self-portrait, slowly building up my skills and learning creative techniques until... My sorry ol' face just wasn't cutting it anymore. The glorified selfies that I'd been taking may have helped me get to grips with my DSLR, but I had no idea how to direct and organise a photoshoot outside of my bedroom. It was time to start working with actual models.

Ghost Photo Shoot: The Greatest Fall Trend Yet.. Top Story - October 2020.
If you don't love fall, Halloween, or both, I am guessing you're dead inside and we would never be friends, so you can actually get lost. Unless you enjoy reading articles written by people that don't like you... which I sort of respect in a weird way, so I guess you can stay. You don't need my approval. You go, girl*

The Ultimate Guide to getting Started in Photography
In such a technologically savvy society and the prevalence of social media you may be thinking about flexing your digital muscles. A great skill I believe the majority of people can benefit from in 2020 is photography. Of course I am heavily biased as I’ve fallen in love with the art in the past couple of years but with the majority of human beings (in western society anyway) being active on social media platforms it helps to know how to take a decent photograph. I also think it’s a valuable skill for anyone in the arts/creative/marketing industries.

5 Tips to Make Your Models Feel Comfortable
When I first started out in photography, especially portrait photography, one of the biggest issues I had was my own confidence and how that affected the model's comfort. When you're naturally an anxious or shy person, working with people and having to confidently direct them and relay your ideas (to strangers, might I add), can feel like the most alien thing in the world.
