“The Fluorescent Light of Day”

This photo was not planned before and was created because I was totally inspired by the straight lines of trees I passed. I was shooting with my model

Jessica on this incredibly cold winter day and we walked past the trees and I just knew I had to use this location. I wanted her to look like she is the guardian of the forest. I am currently

working on a four-seasons series of this location. At the end of the year, I would like to have four photos - one for each season - and am looking forward to seeing them all next to each other!

WHAT IS ONE PIECE OF ADVICE YOU WOULD GIVE TO A NEW PHOTOGRAPHER LOOKING TO BUILD A CAREER IN PHOTOGRAPHY?

Never give up. Work hard and it will eventually pay off. We often compare ourselves to others and their successes and it drags us down. Instead we should try to be inspired by the great

work of others and work towards achieving something we are proud of!
