Do not fear if you don't see any photos and/or profiles for me. I'm shutting the flickr down for a while, while I pay attention to other things - sorry! I'll still be available by email if anyone needs

 

I am currently extremely busy photographically and will be taking a break over the next couple of months in order to jump full time into the fun i've gotten myself into (a good thing). Because of this, i am unable to get onto flickr as much as I would like so I'm shutting down the photostream temporarily. I'll be up and running again probably August of 08, so hang tight!

 

Hi- I'm a photographer.

 

Though I know people would argue & disagree with that as well.

 

Everything on my profile up until Christmas '07 was shot with a Nikon N80 and the basic lenses.

 

Most shots after are from a Nikon D80, as are any model photography I shoot as well.

 

I recently aquired an f100 I hope to be shooting with again.

 

Photography started out for me as a passion, a way to relieve stress and go out to have some fun and now's it turned into half that and half something else.

 

And now i'm a photographer in an Identity Crisis. I can't seem to figure out what type of photographer I am- so there will be lots of experiments, lots of different subjects (people, nature, wildlife, etc). I shoot something and I don't like it anymore, but then i'll look at it the next day and decide that it's acceptable.

 

At the moment, i moved exclusively over to model photography- now i'm looking to move away from it again and over to something else so I can expand my horizons.

 

Excluding the obvious need for need of digital photographs to be photoshopped, I try to stay away from shopping as much as possible and do everything i possibly can in camera.

Testimonials

Simply put...she has outstanding film photographs. Anyone can take a photo with digital, look at it, and then re-shoot. Film takes knowledge of what you are doing, knowing how the light will work, and observing your surroundings. She is a dinosaur in this art and I hope she does not evolve anytime soon.

It's pretty easy to tell from the photographs that Stephanie takes, that she's got a great eye for composition. But more importantly the photographs show a positive happy attitude towards life. Kudos Liska for brightening up my day.

Can I ask you guys a question? How come I'm the 1st to write a testimonial for Stephanie? Her use of colour in her images is truely inspiring. I'll be coming back again & again for some pointers on how to take photographs the right way!
