I am 33 and started studying photography after graduating from LSU. I got interested in photography early on as a swimsuit model and then I started attending seminars at Lakeside Photo in Metairie, Louisiana to learn more. It was there that I met my good friend Lou of Malibu Photos. He spiked my interest in post production photography or editing. I worked with some of his pictures and took some of my own. A few of Lou's favorite pictures are in my port because, although I did not shoot the models, I helped edit the pictures with him. I got permission from him to do this and he was delighted since it gives him the credit and exposure.

Learning camera techniques and the use of various lenses and photoshop has fascinated me and I hope to perfect all of these. I joined Model Mayhem to learn more about fashion, swimsuit, lingerie and glamour photos from more experienced photographers. I like many of the photos shown on MM, especially those that have a beautiful "glow" to them. Its amazing what good lighting and photoshop can do for a photo!

Once again I want to thank Lou of Malibu Photos, who I collaborate with a lot, my parents, who bought me my first camera, and my boyfriend for putting up with my editing until the wee hours of the morning!

Thank You and any comments are welcomed.

Samantha
