I've had a love for capturing special moments in life for as long as I can remember! My favorite part about photographs is that it can feel like traveling back in time to that moment and place. Sometimes when I look at a photo, I can smell the food in the little shop that I had passed by or feel the chill of the autumn air. I think of my camera as a special little time machine for myself and others to help encompass these feelings and memories into pictures so that we can always look back at them and relive them.
about Naomi
meet your Photographer
I started my photography journey in the darkroom of one of my college classes. I would say my path to learning photography is a lot more unique than other photographers. The first camera I picked up and learned how to use was a film camera (compared to many photographers who started on digital first), and I absolutely love that.
Learning film first has allowed me to take a step back and question the purpose of the photo I'm taking, make a connection between the viewer and my subject, and take something with intention and emotion.
I love photographing things that make you think and feel something. Some of my favorite images from other photographers are ones that evoke emotion and feeling, even if the subject is simply just of nature. Those are the types of photographs I want to always produce.
I find that whenever I'm photographing someone's love through my lens, I want to capture them exactly as they are in that moment, and all of their past moments together. My goal when you get your photos back is to make you feel seen as a human being, in a special kind of light you might not have seen in yourself. ♡
For the love of film...
