Did you know I initially began my career in FRONT of the camera...?
I received a scholarship for Dramatic Arts and had my heart set on being an Oscar nominated actress. I had it all planned out. After a few more plays, auditions, shoots, etc. I found that my passion was to no longer be in front of the camera/on stage, it was behind the camera that I wanted to be...
However, if something is TRULY a part of you, it never dies. About 3-4 years ago before I began to focus on photography full time totally, I was given an awesome opportunity to be photographed for Marie Claire Magazine. Pretty cool huh? I received a message from the agency I was with (Cima Talent) letting me know that I was chosen as an "attractive actress" needing to pose with a model for a shoot. It was an AMAZING experience.
* that's me with the arrow pointing to my head.
But wait, that's not the point of my post... Fast forward 3 years as I'm going through a photographers website that I often look to for inspiration (as a photographer) and low & behold I find this image!
At the time I had no clue who took this shot that I was featured in, I just enjoyed the chance to participate. But as a photographer, I find it absolutely amazing that I have been photographed by a photographer whose work I absolutely ADORE! Neil Kirk.
