Photography – St. Louis

ME: My name is Alyssa! I\'m 22. Born and raised in STL. I\'m a happy person! I try and live my life to the fullest everyday. Always up for an adventure:) MY PHOTOGRAPHY BACKGROUND: I had Kodak disposable cameras and would take pictures of food or make my poor little brother pose for me. I remember being at a wedding and they had disposable cameras for the guests to take pictures and I ran around and nabbed many off the tables and took photos all night. Finally, I saved up for a little pink digital camera and would put those photos up on Facebook and started to get compliments. That\'s when I upgraded to using my moms SLR camera and evolved more and more and got my own cam! The more I learned and experienced, the more I realized I could turn this hobby into a career. I took a few classes online and at a community college. I\'m mostly self taught or learn from my fellow photographers! I dabble in everything right now! From weddings to portraits to taking pictures of random things I see day to day. I feel that fine art is near and dear to my heart since that is what I first started on! The idea of seeing my photos hanging on walls and being published is so exciting! I am now merging fine art with portraiture to create something beautiful and unique in my own way!! This is only the beginning of my journey...
