About Garded Secret:
I have always had a passion to create and originally set out to make skins when I was side-tracked. My skills as a photographer took off like the wind (thanks to Colby Pevensey for realizing my talents). Now I'm returning to that passion and will be bringing a new skin line to the grid. Yay!

About my Photography:
I enjoy art and photography and mixing the two to create something unique for each of my clients. My focus in on realism and showcasing both the model and the creative styling they come up with.

I'm always learning and trying out new techniques within the scope of using SL photography & Gimp as my canvas and paintbrush.

My biggest peeve:

Morphs (using a photo of a RL model and morphing an SL face to it) & body parts rendered outside of SL While these can be fun to do, there is no place for them in contests and model portfolios. Besides, most morphs are poorly executed and often leave the model looking freaky. I also question the use of the copyrighted photographs that are used to make them. Morphs do nothing to support the creative designers in SL.
