Jason Lee Q: How did you get into photography? A: I picked up my first digital camera a year before my first daughter was born, which was about 8 years ago. I really enjoyed taking photos and getting the immediate feedback from digital and it just grew from there. Q: How do you come up with such creative photos of your daughters? What's your creative process like? A: Most of the ideas come from the girls, from observing them play, or hearing the funny and outrageous things they say. Their day to day life also plays a big role for my inspiration. Creative process, hmm, thats a tough one. After coming up with an idea, I then 'set up' the scene, and often use artificial lighting to enhance the images. It helps to plan out the shoot before hand, so at most, I only have them in the shoot for a minute or two. Q: How has being on Flickr helped you with your business? A: I generally use Flickr to share photos of the kids, but I have had several inquiries for wedding work after people have seeing my child photography. Q: Any inspirational stories you'd like to share? A: Well, not sure if this is inspirational or not, but I'd like to share a little bit about why and how this project came about. In 2006, my mother was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma. The girls were constantly sick, with colds and coughs so I couldn't always bring them to visit her. I started a blog http://kristinandkayla.com as a way to keep my mom up to date with things that were going on in their lives, and hoping to cheer her up with pictures. I still try and keep it updated with photos, but it's at a far less frequency than when I first started. Q: Do you have any advice for aspiring photographers? A: Don't be afraid to experiment. Take notes. When you have an idea, jot it down somewhere for later. Practice, practice, practice. Start a 365 project, or at least try to shoot something on a consistent basis. Q: Any quotes you live by? A: Like in Finding Nemo, Dori advises "just keep swimming, just keep swimming." Replace swimming with taking pictures and I think you have a winning formula : ) 1 ![](http://blog.creaders.net/upfile/20121207/20121207061410_26922.jpg) 2 ![](http://blog.creaders.net/upfile/20121207/20121207061427_63313.jpg) 3 ![](http://blog.creaders.net/upfile/20121207/20121207061443_40833.jpg) 4 ![](http://blog.creaders.net/upfile/20121207/20121207061501_94283.jpg) 5 ![](http://blog.creaders.net/upfile/20121207/20121207061515_17175.jpg) 6 ![](http://blog.creaders.net/upfile/20121207/20121207061531_82212.jpg) 7 ![](http://blog.creaders.net/upfile/20121207/20121207061549_98387.jpg) 8 ![](http://blog.creaders.net/upfile/20121207/20121207061605_16852.jpg) 9 ![](http://blog.creaders.net/upfile/20121207/20121207061620_89356.jpg) 10 ![](http://blog.creaders.net/upfile/20121207/20121207061642_55387.jpg) 11 ![](http://blog.creaders.net/upfile/20121207/20121207061705_99563.jpg) 12 ![](http://blog.creaders.net/upfile/20121207/20121207061734_92050.jpg) 13 ![](http://blog.creaders.net/upfile/20121207/20121207061753_82913.jpg) 14 ![](http://blog.creaders.net/upfile/20121207/20121207061812_23188.jpg) 15 ![](http://blog.creaders.net/upfile/20121207/20121207061836_38366.jpg) 16 ![](http://blog.creaders.net/upfile/20121207/20121207061852_76810.jpg) 17 ![](http://blog.creaders.net/upfile/20121207/20121207061909_78434.jpg) 18 ![](http://blog.creaders.net/upfile/20121207/20121207061923_32469.jpg) 19 ![](http://blog.creaders.net/upfile/20121207/20121207061938_32940.jpg) 20 ![](http://blog.creaders.net/upfile/20121207/20121207061951_78778.jpg) 肯定 形容词: 肯定, 确切, 稳, 准儿 副词: 当然 |
