Hey! I’m Danielle Clark and this is the blog I started for your convenience if you’re considering me as a photographer. With the help of my trusty DSLR camera, Peter Parker (yes, I named him after Spiderman), I do my best to make every shoot the best experience possible (for all parties involved). I believe that a photo shoot should be fun! We can listen to music (go ahead, make a playlist), make conversation, tell jokes, etc. A good photo shoot is more than standing around and smiling. I like to bring out personality in a finished image by using location, clothing, props, facial expressions, and editing to our advantage. If it doesn’t look like you, what good is a photograph?
I’ve been taking pictures since I was a freshman in high school (I’m a junior in college now, so that’s weird). Portraits in natural light are my preference these days. I like to go outside or explore a new place while we shoot. I’ve become more familiar with my city this way. Let’s be clear that I am not a professional, but I am an enthusiastic amateur who is always looking for opportunity to improve (which I feel that I do, with each shoot). I am primarily self-taught and am not pursuing this as a career, only a hobby. (That’s why I don’t charge $500 a session–this could be to your benefit!)
You might even see some ancient photos on here that I took back when I was starting out. They might not look so good. But I don’t delete my old work because I believe that it shows my growth. You don’t have to look that far back if you don’t want to. This portfolio is a record, for both myself and you.
A few things about myself (to help you get to know me): I am an artist (I also do watercolor/calligraphy–feel free to inquire about that), a nerd (I feel like my TARDIS license plate speaks for itself on that one), a music connoisseur (I sure can’t make it but I love to listen to it), a communicator (I love creative writing–also my major is actually Communication Sciences and Disorders, so I want to help people talk for the rest of my life), a reader (I could live in a library, probably), and a lover of beautiful things (the word for that is philocalist–I like words, too).
I’d really love the chance to get to know you, too. 🙂
