S-Curve #012067

Nikon Z7 f/11 50 mm ISO 100

My photographic journey began in earnest September of 2019 with a weekend workshop taught by Master Photographer Erich Caparas. The following week, my eldest son suffered a traumatic brain injury and lay in a coma for a month. As he began to recuperate and was finally airlifted home to Los Angeles, the whole world shut down for the COVID-19 pandemic. These circumstances delayed my first photo shoot nearly a year...but what a productive shoot it turned out to be! That single session yielded Moonlight & Cherry Blossoms, which represented the United States at World Photographic Cup 2021, as well as this portrait S-Curve which has been selected for Team Canada in 2024! It means so much to me that Neferttiti (a model from the Caparas workshop) trusted this beginner photographer during those days of masks and high anxiety. I am grateful that I am able to repay her faith.
