Photographers - Linnea Lenkus Fine Art Portrait Studios

When I create nude photography I look at the session as a great exercise in studying the human body, graphic lines and the way that light folds over the human form so lovingly.

One of the most exciting things about being a portrait photographer is that I am ultimately woven into a part of people’s lives. When I create a portrait of a baby, or a pregnancy, or a child and then see my clients again for another portrait, even if it’s a few months or years, I am amazed at the changes and my creative juices flow.

My intention, always, when photographing anyone, is to capture a feeling and also to let light and shadow lead the viewer to that emotional place that we universally feel. When someone looking at your portrait can understand how you feel and see the art in your own emotions, then I know I’ve done my job. I am a professional photographer.

I am a huge Joni Mitchell fan. I have loved her music for almost 30 years. Whenever I photograph, I remember this excerpt from “Shadows And Light” on her “Hissing of Summer Lawns” album. . . Visit our Black and White Photography at LinneaLenkus.com.

I have been hesitant to join this trend, to be honest. My thought has been that “Who would be interested in what a photographer has to say?” Just tell this photographer to shut up and shoot, really. . . I am a Los Angeles Photographer. I am an Orange County Photographer too.
