ABOUT

"It is required of and should be the aim of the artist photographer to produce in the likeness the best possible character and finest expression of which that face and figure could ever have been capable. But in the result there is to be no departure from the truth in the delineation and representation of beauty, and expression, and character."
     -Albert Sands Southworth, 1871
THE PHOTOGRAPHY

     I have had a camera in my hands since age ten, thanks to the magnificent discovery of a long-forgotten Minolta in the cupboard under the stairs. It's been a love affair ever since.
     As a photographer, I consider myself a 'generalist'. I photograph a little of everything: portraits, weddings, events, commercial, news and editorial, street photography, fine-art, the neighborhood stray cat... I learned early on that I enjoy too many different styles and subjects, enjoy experimenting with different mediums too much to "settle down" and limit myself solely to one genre. I have found that has given my work a wonderful versatility and breadth. I like that, and I hope you'll like that too.
     Outside of photography I'm also a visual artist, which has lent itself to my shooting style and perspective. I dabble in mixed-media, traditional, and digital art. My art photography and other works are occasionally displayed around Davis, and my landscape and fine-art photography can be found on my personal website.

KIRSTIN

   I'm a foodie with a mean sweet tooth. I'm a lover of black tea and Milano cookies. I have a soft spot for cinema, especially early cinema, art films, and excellent documentaries. In my spare time I like to knit, garden, and troll the thrift store for excellent vintage finds. The rural farmland outside of Davis is a frequent subject of my personal photographic musings, and when not capturing images I can be found at my desk writing poetry and short fiction.

“You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”
― Ansel Adams
