ktelqueen's photostream
|
queen of K-Tel records..not kettles..
photography is my biggest passion and i get a lot of joy from capturing the essence of people and places and creating special memories along the way..
i specialize in family portraits, engagements, intimate weddings, sports teams, band promos, headshots, special events, and landscapes.
what i love most about working with clients is making people feel at ease while bringing out the best in them..usually through laughter and a lot of fun..
i shoot with an Olympus E-520, an Olympus E-500, a Canon Powershot S5 IS and a Canon Powershot A710 IS which is fabulous for macros. I do very little editing(minor cropping/contrast/saturation only where absolutely necessary) as i believe in staying true to what i capture..
if you are interested in contacting me for a session or to purchase a print please email me at mariapowell@shaw.ca to discuss the details..thanks!

Jeff Clow says:
"I've seen Maria's work grow exponentially over the last couple of years......and she has turned into a fine photographer during that time.
She's also a classy lady who brightens Flickr with her enthusiasm and her willingness to compliment other's work.
I'm pleased to be able to now call her a friend via the magic of Flickr."16th August, 2009

The Blackbird says:
"Maria has an amazing eye for the majesty of nature. My sense is she prefers to take shots when she is genuinely overwhelmed by the beauty of a mountainscape, or a wild creature, or an amazing sky; one of those "Oh wow, I have to get my camera out for this" kind of people as opposed to the type who shoot anything and everything whenever. View ktelqueen's photos and learn, amateurs.
She's also an extraordinarily sweet person and her self-portraits, well, let's just say they leave you wanting more."12th December, 2008

"I really enjoy the photostream of ktelqueen. As a relatively newcomer to Alberta, she brings in an entirely new fresh eye to seeing and photographing the area where I live. It could be birds or flowers, it could be bus benches or graffiti. I am always amazed and impressed with Maria's artistry and fine photos."

"I am sure there are more people who knows Ktelqueen better than I do, but that´s what I think about her:
"She is so beautiful and she is able to show all her beauty through her lenses - her naturally "wonder-full" sharp eyes and her camera. Every picture is a wonderful surprise and it doesn´t matter in what moment I see them my life becomes better. If I had a definitive thing to say about her tallent that would be: it is possible to write a story from every picture she takes. Thanks, dear, for your sincere friendship! After seeing your delightful pictures guess what comes to my mind: when will be the next... Please keep making my life better and better with you photos!".
Good shots!!!
Sincerely,
Your Brazilian friend... Sérgio"8th October, 2007
