Hey there! My name is Victoria and ever since I was a little girl, I have been fascinated by the concept of taking pictures. In 2008, I developed an interest in photography as an art. Nature and still-life are the styles I typically share online, but I enjoy portraiture as well. I have also done work with sports photography, pet portraits, and a variety of other styles and subjects.
In 2011, I realized that photography had become my way of processing the things I was going through in my life. This may sound odd, but the best way I can explain it is that some people write songs, some poetry; some people paint or dance or play a sport; I take pictures. Robert Hayden said, "Art is not escape, but a way of finding order in chaos, a way of confronting life." That is what photography is to me: finding order in the chaos, and finding beauty in the ordinary. Everyone has their art, and photography is mine. It is an incredible blessing to do what I love and have other people enjoy it as well.
Equipment & Editing
I am often asked what camera and lenses I use, as well as what programs I use to edit. My digital camera is a Nikon D3100, and my lenses of choice are the 35mm and the 55-200mm. I also use a variety of 35mm film cameras and Polaroid cameras. For editing, I prefer Gimp and occasionally Photoshop Elements.
If you ever have any photography related questions, just ask! Photography has helped me in my life and I want to use it to help others, even if it's simply by giving photography advice.
