Interview with:Kristin LeAnn [onceuponatimephotographync]
PHOTOGRAPHY
 | Do you have an online gallery where one can view your photos? Yes, on our Facebook page (facebook.com/KristinPagePhotography) as well as on our website (www.onceuponatimephotographync.com) |
| For how long have you done photography? How did you begin? I have always been fascinated with photography and cameras and grew up around them. It wasn't until 2010 that I decided to start my own business. In 2012, I changed the name of my business and have been marketing more in order to get my name out there. |
| What has been your education as a photographer? I am 90% self taught and 10% class taught. I went to a community college and got a certificate in Web and Graphic Design which allowed me to dabble in photography classes as well. |
| Please list any awards for your work. I hold Second Place in a photography competition with the subject matter being "why" For the contest, I took a photo of a gas sign at sunset answering "Why are gas prices so high?" |
| What is your favourite type of photography? I've always been drawn to beautiful things - sunsets, flowers, etc... but lately as I've started my business, I find beauty in people instead: engagements, weddings, maternity, and newborns. |
| What do you try to express through your photography? I want to capture feelings in my photography - if it's a couple in love, I want to be able to see how they want to spend their lives together. If it's a newborn, I want to look the looks of adoration in the parents' faces. |
| What type of preparation do you do before undertaking the photo session? Every client receives a questionnaire and a contract so I can get to know them better and each party understands exactly what is going to happen. |
| Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Sigma, Olympus, Sony, Pentax...which do you place your bets on and why? I love Nikon and it's what I shoot with. If I didn't have a Nikon, I'd have a Canon. Won't go near any of the others.... |
| Describe your current equipment: cameras, lenses, computers, accessories... Nikon D3100 camera, 18-55 lens, 55-300 zoom lens, 32GB 10 speed memory card, UV filter for each lens, Macbook Pro, Adobe Creative Suite CS5 for editing. |
| Do you consider yourself more technical or more artistic? Although I'm good with the technical stuff, my strengths are definitely artistic. |
| How does one develop the instinct of knowing when to press the shutter release button? I don't think you can 'develop' an instinct. As with many things, you have to have some natural talent. For instance, for years I took tumbling lessons hoping to improve. However, so help me, I can't even do a forward roll. |
