Xilia's photostream

CollectionsSetsGalleriesTagsPeopleArchivesFavoritesProfile

Photography is my life. If I could just shoot all the cracks in the sidewalks and the funny shaped leaves all the time I would. To survive I snap advertising, cooperate head shots, events and occasional weddings, and personal/family portraiture.

I have thousands more photos, but those are only for contacts that are added as a friend and over 18. :)

""Not so long ago (in the grand scheme of things at least) The Powers That Be found Them Selves in a quandry over Xilia's eyes.
Form was not a problem, function was a point of much deliberation.
Should these eyes see the bright, interesting minutiae of the world around her, or the dark and beauiful things that reside within the imagination.
'We shall let her see both,' the Powers said and so it was set..."

To call Xilia a photographer would be an understatement and a diservice, she is truly an artist, a very capable and imaginative one at that, not only blessed with an abundence of imagination but a talent for spotting a little detail, a beat or pause for breath in a crowd.
And she's a lovely person to boot, who could want more that that?"

"Xilia is one of the most talented happy go lucky ladies i know. Fun+Talent = Superstar! in 2005 she wasn't really shooting models, but when i saw her work I knew she had something special, I hopped on a plane cross country and my outlook on female photographers was changed forever. i have been watching her work for a few years now, and she has grown so much in such a short time. I love this lady, and she Rocks!"
