Digital Raggamuffin

I have been interested in photography for approximately 3 years now, coming to this passion from the opposite direction. I began using photoshop to artistically represent poetry that I was a keen writer of. I came across an excellent podcast one day and my photoshop ability began to extrapolate much quicker than my poetic license. I continued learning photoshop but was always frustrated by having to search the Internet for some stock images to use in the tutorials, and then decided it would be nice if I could take my own images rather than hunt for them. Since then, I have chased the photography bug wholeheartedly. Kelby0ne membership has taught me so much and I am keen to put my learning into practice.
I have, of course, photographed my family and friends extensively, before dipping my toe into working with models. As an experienced model Axa helped me get to grips with what I was doing without having to worry about getting a model to pose, And I hope to extend my portfolio with new people that challenge me to be in control of the shooting environment more.
A little known fact about me, I broke my neck when I was 21 and have been a wheelchair user ever since. Although this makes some situations tricky, normally some sideways thinking and some stubborn persistence is enough to find a solution.
At the moment I have a small home studio type setup of lights, backdrop, soft boxes and umbrellas and a decent set of retouching skills in Adobe lightroom and photoshop.
