A Little Bit About Me! My name is Carissa - I am a lover of photography and would consider myself an advanced beginner. I have been interested in photography since 2008 when I was 16 years old but started taking it seriously in more recent years. Over the years my focus for photography subjects has been on animals - more specifically equine portraits and equestrian sport photography. I've always had a huge love for macro and floral photography and am very very excited to have just gotten a macro lens and am started on my journey of learning this whole new world. Expect to see a decent amount of variety in my gallery as I am typically willing to try something new!
What I Do Here on dA! I absolutely love this site and the community, inspiration, and growth I get out of it! I want to be a very active member of this wonderful art community so I hope to be able to maintain all of the following:
+ Give a Critique, Get a Critique: If you critique any of my photos and note me with a specific photo of yours you would like critiqued I will gladly do so!
+ Feature Fridays: Every Friday I would love to be able to share with my watchers some of the fantastic art I saw that week - for that reason I will make a journal of photos I favorited and artists I watched during that week to spread the inspiration!
+ Upload Diary: I try and upload photos quickly after I took them, normally the very next day. I would love to be able to make a journal entry each time I upload to highlight my favorite photos from that shoot, and maybe give a bit of background to those photos. I think it would be great and a nice was to start a conversation about the images I take rather than just upload them!
+ The Photo Club: I am the founder of a brand new group called The-Photo-Club. It's going to be an amazing group and am enjoying the process of getting it all set up - would love if you checked it out and joined!
