Shandi-lee's photostream
|
I see beauty in everything, especially in light.
I love to take pictures,
I am still learning to take great ones.♡
Hi! I'm Shandi-lee, a self-taught aspiring photographer. Although I've been shooting casually for many years with a point and shoot, I've only begun shooting more seriously in the past year, and I've acquired some more tools along the way. I now shoot with my baby, a Canon EOS 7D, and my lenses: EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM, and EF 50mm f/1.4 USM. I lack technical training, but I do not lack love, photography is the only thing that I am truly passionate about, and I enjoy learning things on my own.
I love to capture everything under the sun. Taking pictures and manipulating pictures is my favourite art form, I do like things to be kept realistic, but my shooting and processing styles are how I like to see the world--bright and beautiful! I love photographing flowers because their beauty astounds me and I get nervous when I think about them withering away. Even more fascinating than flowers, though, are people and their expressions, their eyes and their bodies. I have a collection of portraits of my friends and people I know, and of the one I know best, myself. I take self-portraits to practice technique, to express myself, as an excuse to dress up, and also when there is lack of a another model, (I seem to be around every time no one else is).
I want to share what I find is beautiful. When you look at my photographs I'm inviting you to see a glimpse into my life and understand how lovely the world can be, at least, from the eyes of a small, but big-hearted dreamer ♥!
If you feel that I can help you in any way; whether it be with my camera, using one of my works, or if you're interested in purchasing something of mine, please contact me with any inquiry! I also welcome your comments and messages with advice, questions, critiques etc. You can contact me personally by sending me a flickr mail, or by using one of these options:

"Oh Shandi-Lee... Where do I start with you?? First I just want to say that your photos are absolutely amazing. Honestly. There are only a handful of my contacts that I genuinely enjoy looking at (sshhh don't tell!), and you, my dear, are one of them! All your photos have such a soft, gentle feeling to them, they almost have a calming effect on me haha! You have a creative style that keeps me coming back for more, I can't get enough!
Out of all the girls I could have met here on flickr, I am so glad that you are one of them. You're so sweet, always have something nice to say that makes me smile, and you are gorgeous!!! I'm kind of jealous :)
Hopefully one of these days we get to actually meet, considering we only live a few hours from each other... But until then, keep posting your wonderful photos and keep in touch!
