Energy: Illuminated

Energy: Illuminated was an incredible journey for me and my photography. Dance is one of my great passions, and to capture it with the abstracted form of light was a manifestation that existed previously only in my dreams. I enjoy the slow exposure process, and I learned a lot about the art of Photoshop.

Many of these photographs are available for purchase at http://kissblissphotography.imagekind.com, or by simply clicking on the image above. Five framed prints (Blue, Smear, Blossom, Passion, and Dip) are currently on display at Ophelia's restaurant in downtown Asheville.

I would also be happy to do commissions for photographs of this nature, in the form of dance, movement, or any other creative endeavor they inspire.

Music has always been a big influence on my life. I am fascinated with the energy of light and sound, and I love to capture that in a live performance.

How to Begin?

Rose Colored Glass

It's an interesting thing, creating a website to compile and display the images I've taken over ten years. For some reason, this photograph calls to me, asking permission to be first. I did a photo shoot of my old roommate Lyndsay, and we had a glorious time capturing her femininity, her sensuality, with the roses her long-distance boyfriend had sent her. I was developing the light layering technique I used for my exhibit, Energy Illuminated, and so in a way, this image does signify a beginning, or at least growth as a photographer.
