Hi everyone!
My name is Alison and I am a "new to the business" photographer. I have been doing photography as a hobby for about 7 years, and I studied photography at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville.... GO VOLS!
I just recently found myself in a position in my life where embarking on the windy road into the Photo Biz would be a good decision. This has been a long time dream for me, and I can only hope that through lots of practice and advice that I will gain more and more experience over the years.
I love photographing children and people. I also enjoy beautiful landscapes and cityscapes.
I used to shoot film, but then I fell out of photography for a bit. When I refocused my attention back into it.. everything was digital. So I spend a lot of my free time reading, learning and practicing. In my not-so-free-time, I have 2 beautiful children, my son Jacob is 7, and my daughter Alex is 9. I currently shoot with a Nikon D5100, 18-55 kit lens, Nikkor 35mm f/1.8, and Nikkor 55-300 f/4-6.5. My budget is tight, so that's as close as I could get to "pro-gear" right now. I plan to purchase the Nikon SB-700 or newer flash and a reflector in the coming weeks. I am hoping that this is a sufficient set-up to get me going. Let me know what you think. Or if you have any personal suggestions/preferences.
I'm very excited to be here among talent.. amateur and professional. Over the course of my travel down this road I will be looking to all of you for advice and guidance that I hope to find. I hope all of you will respond constructively, I;m happy to hear it. If I make mistakes, which I will, and I learn from them, then they were worth making, weren't they?
I believe that I have the talent and confidence to do good photography, but I also have the sense and discipline to know that I have a lot to learn.
i look forward to meeting you and becoming a more confident and experienced photographer. Thank you all in advance for your support, your time, your wisdom, and your guidance. Without it, I would still be at square one.
Please take a moment to check out my website, it's also brand new. I apologize that my portfolio is anorexic.. at best. I have some shoots scheduled over the coming weeks that will hopefully give it that something it's missing. Would love your feedback on the website as well.
Thanks all!
Alison
