Immer wieder schafft sie es, die Bilder ins rechte Licht zu rücken und mit ihnen angenehme Emotionen hervorzurufen. Sie wecken bei mir als Betrachter die Lust auf Urlaub, auf Party bzw. dolce vita.
Sie bemüht sich, entspannte Bilder von Menschen und Orte zu generieren und weckt Fernweh.
Ihre Reisebilder sind verträumt und voller Wehmut, sie lechzen nach mehr Sommer, mehr Leidenschaft. Von den Klippen von Kaikoura zu den Häfen der Bretagne und den Dörfern von Luang Prabang ist alles dabei. Mit dem Fokus aufs Detail weckt sie mein Interesse und befriedigt die ästhetischen Areale in meinem Kopf. Grandiose Bilder.
Hier kommt ein ausgewähltes Potpourri aus dem Atomlabor, mit den Veröffentlichungsrechten der Künstlerin Natasha Lee und natürlich das obligatorische Interview mit der in Santa Monica ansässigen Künstlerin.
How long have you been photographing and what was your first picture ?
I have been photographing mostly since college when I worked on my first film set; however I remember one of my favorite early photos being a low angle shot of a Disneyland ride during a family vacation.
What kind of cameras do you use most ?
I shoot mostly with the Canon 6D now but really miss my film cameras, the Mamiya RZ67 and Nikon F4.
Which idols do you have?
So many! Nick Knight was one of my early favorites when I started out shooting fashion, for his distinctive lighting style and strong compositions; lately I gravitate more towards photographers like Cass Bird, Daeja Fallas, Magdalena Wosinska, and Amanda Marsalis for their ability to capture moments and people in an authentic and intimate way.
What was your biggest success so far ?
This year, I have been so fortunate that my work has taken me to some incredible places such as Tulum, Hawaii, and Malaysia. It has been a dream of mine for quite some time, so I hope to continue to tell visual stories through shooting and traveling for new and current clients.
What are your next plans?
In addition to photographing, I also direct music videos, commercials, and short films and am working on an ensemble film about connectivity and coming-of-age in Los Angeles.
Do you know Germany ?
Not yet but I have met many awesome German travelers throughout the years and am looking forward to visiting soon!’'
