About 5degreeswest

I started taking photos years ago because I have a notoriously bad memory. Looking at old photographs helps me remember things.
Back then I had no idea about composition or had any sort of a handle on camera settings. Around 5 years ago photography became something I was spending more of my time on. Through following different accounts on instagram for inspiration, reading books and getting to know my camera better I started to see improvements in my work. I began shooting landscapes but have gravitated towards a portraiture focus and now that is where I feel I work best. Three years ago I shot my first wedding and I now do this part time alongside my main job, teaching.
