Photo Taken by Makenna Boettcher
About me
I am a Photographer, Director, Producer and Editor. This camera obsession began when I joined a performing arts school and did a unit in film. From there, the more I learned about cameras and the industry surrounding it, the more I wanted to experience all I could.
The desire to learn more and play with my photos drives me to adventure past my comfort zones, visiting new places and talking to new people just to further my craft. I never go on any adventures without my camera, and it has lead me to be a better artist.
Portrait photography and nature photography are my two main areas of focus. Though, I enjoy shooting horror films and documentaries as well.
Photography Philosophy
I believe that photos should speak for themselves. With all of the available technology today, its not hard to alter photos or edit them. Often times, photos can be so altered, you can't tell what the original would have looked like. I want to make all of my subjects feel comfortable as they are.
I don't airbrush, filter, change contrast or sharpen my photos in any way. My subjects deserve that much.
​
In a world that has become so easy to alter, and put out a filtered version of oneself, I want everyone to see the beauty in everyday people.
“Look at everything always as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time: Thus is your time on earth filled with glory.”
