.Bradi.'s photostream

SetsGalleriesTagsPeopleArchivesFavoritesProfile

I'm a nineteen year old kid. I shoot people for money. Sometimes my camera steals souls.

I'm afraid I don't always keep up with Flickr... I'm always still shooting, though, I'm just doing other kinds of photography these days (Flickr doesn't pay a hungry teenager).

For me, Flickr has become a place to show my creations to other people. I shoot a number of different things with my camera, but things like family photos or client shoots rarely ever make it here... this is just a home to some images that don't really belong anywhere else.

I think film photography is beautiful. I have so much respect for people use it.

That said; I don't. All my images are shot and processed digitally.

My camera is Nikon D300/D100 and I usually shoot with a 24-70mm or 50mm lens (my new favorite is the 24mm wide angle: love!) and I use Photoshop CS/CS4.

It's usually not the best idea to ask me how I've processed my images--not because I won't try and tell you, but all I ever do is play around until I start to like it. I don't really try and remember what's been done. Sorry!

I can be hard to get to know through the internet sometimes (I'm pretty sure the internet is just fad, like pogs, or the 90s) but, still, I appreciate people who try striking up a conversation for no real reason. :]

I like talking to strangers.

I'm horrible at keeping up with messages. I'm not a complete jerk, really! I just have a tendency to... well... ignore my inbox sometimes.

I like creative people. Funny people. The learn-ed kind of people. People who travel. Inventors. Entrepreneurs. Writers. Dancers. And sometimes I like Canadians.

I still think reading and card games are fun.

I'm a Christian.

My family is awesome.

I misspell things all the time.

IF YOU'RE ADDING: I don't mind if you add me as a contact for whatever reason you like, but please don't be offended if I don't add you back. I'm not a contact collector. I like to keep my contact list reasonable enough so that I can actually keep up with you guys sometimes. Also, chances are, if you've never left a comment or fave, I won't manage to stumble across you're stream in the first place.

And again, sorry about being horrible with messages.

"I think the day I found Bradi's photostream was a very lucky one.

Bradi has a natural photographer's eye, besides her fantastic self-portraitist , she also captures the beauty of nature . Her photostream is so filled with originality and life, she takes the everyday things and makes it into art. Each of her photos are so delicate and powerful, and so inspirational.

Thank you
:)"

"Bradi's work always continues to amaze me! The thing I love most is her diversity, one day it's a fabulous photo with her own personal twist, and the next it's an amazing manipulation / compilation (like her Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland images). These styles are really my favourite because theres so much imagination involved, and the details are always so intricate and spot-on. She really inspires me when I start working on a manipulation, and I am always so pleased when I see her comments on them!

I always look forward to Bradi's posts, they are always 100% awesome, whatever they are! :)"

"Bradi's work is truly awe-inspiring. Her creativity, originality and imagination know no bounds. I check in to her stream regularly and seem to leave more impressed each time!"

"Bradi is my number one inspiration and is without a doubt my favorite photographer here on flickr. All of her ideas are creative and stunning and she seems like an awesome person. I can only hope to become a great a photographer like her one day and that i can get through my 365 without skipping a day like she did. Keep up the amazing work, Bradi!"

CTR Image Photography says:

"Bradi----THEE coolest ideas come from her keen mind and sense of life. She BRINGS life into imaging. She helps us to stretch our own UN-exercised minds to do something more spectacular than what we currently do."

"Bradi has a very beautiful and unique style.
The photostream is filled with creative ideas!
I have been following her works for a while now and I can say that it's getting more and more amazing and interesting!
Real talent!"

"all this time and i still haven't wrote a testimonial? FOR SHAME! In serious terms, though, bradi is such a great photographer. she has amazing self-portrait skills (although her 365 is now over), and has a wonderful eye for her surroundings. she sees what others cannot. she's pretty young and fairly new at photography, and is already delivering quality work again and again. i can't wait to see what's next."

Jordan Chark says:

"Bradi's stream is chock full of unforeseen treasures. I'm always in awe of how every single masterpiece draws it's own attention and immediately evoke such powerful emotions. Her processing is also just as incredible, and extremely inspirational. I can't wait to see what she creates in the future!"

honey from the rock says:

"Bradi's photos are so incredibly creative! Self-portraits are difficult, both in the technical sense and the artsy sense. That being said, Bradi does a brilliant job executing her shots. Self-portraits (especially the 365 days project ones) can get tiring to look at just because they are of the same subject, but Bradi's shots are so unique and different, I find myself looking forward to seeing what she has come up with for the day. Keep shooting, Bradi!"

"Oh. Man.
Bradi's photos blow my mind. She captures this certain mood in her photos that I can't really even describe. They're just so.....Bradi-ish. With every new upload she gives us all a little taste of who she is.

Always improving, always incredible, always inspiring."

"Bradi has a style like no other. If you haven't already, you HAVE to look through her entire photostream. I love the fact that each one of her pictures seems to tell its own unique story. It's so easy to get lost in her pictures and I'm always looking forward to whatever she's got up her sleeve for the next shot. Thanks Bradi for sharing your wonderful pictures with all of us!"

"Bradi is a very special girl with more creativity than I could ever dream of having! She always seems to do something different with her shots and does an awesome job too! I'm always excited when I see that she's posted a new photo and I'm never disappointed! And not only is she an awesome photographer - but she has a wonderful personality as well! Good luck Bradi!! :)"

"awe.
there is something very magical about this little girl's photos. i wish i could see the world from her perspective for a little while... i'm pretty sure i could learn a lot.

you are lovely, bradi."

Elizabeth Salib says:

"I've never come across a stream to which I've connected so immediately and profoundly to. I hope she doesn't mind me saying so, but looking through her stream made me feel almost as though I was looking through my own. With even a single glance over her photostream, I feel as though I know her well, as though I've been commenting on her photos ever since she started and encouraging her along the way.

You're amazing, girl. Keep doing exactly what you've been doing all along. Spill out your life into your photos, just like you have been. Keep pouring your heart and soul into them; that's the only thing that matters. And believe me, others will see that in them too."

emma.c says:

"Bradi's self portraits have amazed me from the first time I came across them. I'm sure it's relatively simple to use a self timer/remote and a tripod, but Bradi has scared me out of trying it (alright, I admit, it's mostly jealousy.) Her wide variety of other shots are also utterly fantastic-- and I'm always looking forward to viewing her stream and seeing what else she has to awe me. Keep coming up with more and more and more lovely shots, Bradi!"

"Bradi isn't your average photographer. She doesn't just point and shoot--she creates the shot. Her portraits are amazing. It wouldn't surprise me if she had her own studio someday. Good job Bradi! Wonderful work :-)"

EDEN PHOTOGRAPHY says:

" Ahh Bradi. So dedicated! I love her 365...and she's a very creative photographer. She thinks outside the box...and her photos are refreshing and different from everyone else's. :) Look out flickr!"

"This girl does an amazing job at pushing a little Canon Elph to it's boundaries. I can't wait to see what comes when she gets a professional camera."

Rudedee says:

"I just realised (and was chagrined to realise) that I hadn't written a testimonial for Bradi, because she certainly deserves one! My gosh, Bradi, you're amazing, to say the least. The photos that you get out of your point and shoot continue to astound me with their beauty. You have an eye, girl, you have an eye."

24th June, 2007
for the love of photography says:

"Bradi is an awesome girl with a sweet heart and a good eye for photography. She knows how to capture the beauty in every image and does wonders with the things she has in front of her. ♥"
