Why I’m a Baby Photographer
Saturday, April 7th, 2007There’s nothing quite so wonderful as a ticklish, squishy bum and this baby has it. I photographed her the other day. I indulged myself. She was a wonderful subject for a baby portrait. She has eyes that languish and a great disposition.
Los Angeles Photographers
Wednesday, April 4th, 2007A portrait photographer is even odder in that he or she needs to pull into their brain, their gut and their experience and yet. . .connect. With every portrait I create, I pull in and. . .emerge with a feeling, an emotion or a moment of this family’s life. I connect, I breathe and I express. If I can let my guard done, I can see more than what is in front of me. I see the future, the past and what is, what really is, at this moment.
Children Photographers – Moms on the Side
Monday, April 2nd, 2007Tonight I’m thinking of Dexter, who is sick and pulling at my mother strings. These child portraits I did a few months ago. In moments like this, when I am full of worry, I am glad to have these portraits to savor and make me smile.
Nude Photography
Monday, March 26th, 2007When 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.
A Portrait of Continuity
Sunday, March 25th, 2007One 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.
Portrait Photography – My Philosophy
Monday, March 19th, 2007My 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.
Shadows and Light
Friday, March 16th, 2007I 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.
A First Post from Linnea Lenkus, Los Angeles Photographer
Monday, March 12th, 2007I 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.
