5-Who or what inspires you?

Anything can really inspire me, depends on the day and mood. I mostly love to find beauty in unexpected places.

6-Do you have a SL photographer who inspires you?

It is hard to name just one. I will like one person who uses shadows like I have never seen or another's colour use blow my mind. I pick a little of this and a little of that from various artists and try to learn from them all and encompass all that I love in my own pictures.

7-Could you tell us a little about your experience as a student at Visionaire Institute: the curriculum, instructors and assignments?

It was, hands down one of the best experiences I have had in SL thus far. The curriculum is set to a level that makes it easy for new photographers to grasp yet still holds information that experienced photographers can learn from. The instructors are amazing, extremely knowledgeable, kind, supportive and available always to encourage or help you along when needed. Homework is one of the best parts. You take a hands on role to learning the craft, then review each person’s work in class to learn what was done right and also get critique on how it may be improved. It is done in a way that is always supportive and given as tips to try for the next time you shoot.

I have made many, many friends at Visionaire, including the instructors who still continue to support me after graduating. We are welcomed back, which I am taking part in currently, to refresh our knowledge base, learn changes as the viewers change and just get a fresh take on what is happening with photography world in SL, all free of charge after graduation. I truly cannot say enough great things about the school or the instructors to accurately describe my appreciation to them for what they have taught me.
