The original definition of photography was "writing/painting with light".

As well as conventional photography, I am now attempting to merge these two disciplines of painting and photography by using Light Painting to create images that portrays the scene as I saw it not as the camera would normally recorded it. 

How the light falls on an object, the direction, intensity, colour and hardness can completely transform or alter how that object appears to the viewer.
Think how different a floodlit building can look compared to the daytime, or how shining a torch up under your chin can make one look all spooky!
If we can control this light, then we can decide how to portray each individual element of a painting or picture.

Light painting is doing just that - controlling the light in each part of the scene independently of other parts of it.
I use a Light Brush, just as a painter uses a paint brush, to reveal, or not, the objects in the image in the way I want to emphasis their contribution in the final picture.

I am passionate about showing women in all possible ways to celebrate them, their strength and beauty.

I get a tremendous buzz from taking the exposures as well as forming the final image during post-processing.
