I'm available to photograph Emerald and surrounding areas.

1. Tell us a little bit about YOU.

I'm 19 years old soon to be 20, I'm studying Graphic design and photography at university and loving it.

2. How did you get into photography?

I was given my first camera 3 years ago as a christmas present and I haven't put it down since. I'm always expanding my knowledge and I love learning more.

3. Are you doing photography as a business or a hobby?

At the moment I'm studying photography so its my hobby, but somewhere in the near future I would like to build up the confidence to start my own photography and graphic design business.

4. What is your favorite subject to photograph? Why?

I love taking photos of nature as you can take as much time as you'd like with it and work at getting your photos perfect. I would like to get into fashion photography but I am struggling to find the confidence or models to turn this dream into a reality.

5. Who is your inspiration? Do you have any favorite photographers?

My favourite photographer is Marcus Bell, I absolutely adore his photographs, they're just so innovative.

6. What tips/advice do you have about photography and running your own business?

I think that motivation is the key, and a strong will to learn more each day. Always let the client give you ideas, but in the end your the photographer so you have creative control.

7. Tell us a strange or interesting fact about you.

I was one of the 30 people in Qld, Australia to be awarded a "Creative Generation Art & Design Award" when I was in grade 12, my art has been exhibited in GoMA, Brisbane!  (that is amazing!!  Congrats Caitlin!)
