I have become a PHOTOGRAPHER lately. I have always taken a lot of photos, but over the last 5 years, I have really begun to PHOTOGRAPH people, flowers and places.
Check out my website www.amandacookphotography.com
I don’t use photoshop on any photo, mostly because I didn’t have a camera or computer that would handle that program.
Now it has become an obsession. I feel moved to capture the moment as it happens. I wish that the sky was bluer or the telephone wire wasn’t there, but I want to find beauty the way it happens. I respect and love photos that have been altered, edited the way a painter moves things around in their mind, but for me “Digital Painting” is not my artform.
Just being there in the moment, documenting, remembering, opening a microsecond for the world to see, that’s what I love.
I would love to photograph anything or anyone. If you know of a great location, have an interesting garden, can show me a cool tree, bridge, house , please let me know.
I have begun to photograph people –a wedding last summer and then a family shoot this fall. Plus a number photos with Santa. Get in touch with me with any ideas, locations or models.
