Her challenge:

"Its about capturing moments that last a split second.
Blink your eyes .......
and they're gone.

A wonderland of colours and shapes that we don't see
if we dont look.
A glimpse into the real person and state of being
....that often go unnoticed.
From the magical romance of weddings to
functions and concerts where excitement sizzles the air with electricity ...
to glowing celebrities ...
to portraits where individual moods and inner beauty are portrayed ...
to musicians and performers whose souls creatively express their aspirations. Having fun and being natural is a part of it, where no-one need feel intimidated by a camera, but instead work with it.

Its about capturing these images....
people ....
their energies;our special gift named Life!"

Her mission :

"To revolutionalise traditional photography into the 22nd Century."
