Why Beth? Who is Beth anyway?
Yep, I’m a photographer. Yep, I love taking photographs….but why? Why become a professional photographer? Everyone has a digital camera these days, don't they?
The world is a magical place. It just is. You don’t see that? I see magic going on all around me, all of the time. There’s magic in creating a new life and watching it grow, talk, and (eventually) talk back. There’s magic in having an idea one day and seeing it grow into a successful business. There's magic in going into a dark room and being transported by the actors, lighting, music on stage. Humans never cease to amaze me in their capacity to create. Photography allows the magic to last forever in a simple ...click. That simple little sound that allows me to stop time. I love telling stories about the magic.
I need change like a dog needs a bone. I’ve explored many countries, I’ve lived in the UK, France, Germany…extended stays in the US and South Africa, I speak French, I love Melbourne and I get my European fix every year with three months in Berlin. (Oh and most people love good weather for their photographs, so it works out really well). I love discovering - unwrapping the layers and finding out what’s really going on.
The common thread is the human story. Who are you? Where do you come from? What do you do? What gets you out of bed in the morning? Maybe I can tell your story sometime.
