Erika G Photography

To say that I am new to photography would be a lie. Though I may not have as much experience as others on this site,  I do believe in my skills and I also believe in myself.

If I could use a good old fashioned film camera to take all my shots, I would. The truth is, I do not have the know how to develop my prints so I don't. I am a full out digital camera user.

After completing my studies in Photojournalism, I have come to realize that I love being a newspaper photographer. By being given the opportunity to take photos on a daily basis in different elements has taught me how to capture "moments" and has definitely helped me fine tune my photography.

Portraits and weddings are my passion. I prefer close-up/ in your face shots where you can see the person for exactly what they are. I do not like to photoshop out blemishes because usually what a costumer believes is a flaw, I think is the most interesting aspect about themselves. But if the costumer feels better about themselves with me altering the photo slightly, I do not mind helping them out.
Not to say I don't use photoshop at all, I do. Only, I try not to.

Sex sells. Everyone knows it. Personally, I do not like to use it. My portraits are very family oriented and to have anything that resembles porn is against what I will do. That being said, I do not mind doing lingerie shots or nudes but I will try to be as tasteful as possible. I believe sensual is far more intimate and beautiful. Please do not mix the two up.

If you would like to set up a shoot, feel free to contact me.
