I have many creative hobbies and artistic pursuits, but photography is probably the one I'm most passionate about. It's also the one I won't monetize, and reserve purely for my own artistic expression.

I photograph a variety of subjects, but I generally work best with nature, or candid shots of people; I'd like to improve my studio skills, but it's not where my passions lie. My main goal is to capture emotion, whether it's my own mood when I was shooting, or emotions of an expressive subject. And, when I photograph people, I'm always most interested in candid photos of people having fun (hence why I shoot a lot of fan conventions, so much genuine, uninhibited joy!).

In my day job, I'm a professional Sparkly Code Princess (Django/Python app developer and UI designer). I'm also a long-time participant in the furry community, and a huge My Little Pony fan. Catch me on Twitter (@Lupinia), or on my website!
