It makes a difference

It's interesting trying to choose images that best represent your work. As the creator we may choose things that are very different than the work we do on a day to day basis to earn a living because we want to show our range, or surprise people, even impress them with our startling individuality. Of course what we do everyday is often fun and creative so we routinely have something different to share... but it's also not the entire story. A lot of what we do is not sexy or theatrical but it's very important to the person who is beiong photographed to look their best. Our job is to capture people as their most natural attractive selves. Make up, posing, lighting, drawing forth a natural personality so the person is represented at their best, their prettiest, most handsome, their personality shining through... That is everything.
