MySpace a place for friends

Monique, 20, Columbia College Chicago junior.
Not German, but my last name is. Don't ask.
Photography is my focus, but I paint too.
So while you're here, visit my store to see how I can paint you a custom pair of canvas shoes.

I am most interested in meeting new models for shoots, so add away. And I'll always write back if you message/comment. I don't bite.

Photography is my entire life, my love, 2nd to God. All the talent I have, all that I do, is thanks to Him.

Digital: Canon EOS 40D. Film: Canon EOS Rebel k2 35mm, which I don't really use anymore.
Lenses: f/4-5.6 28-90mm zoom, f/1.8 50mm prime, Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM, Tamron SP AF 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical (IF) and a wide angle lens attachment.
Lighting: natural, incandescent lamps, Canon Speedlite 430EX, & Alien Bees B800&B400 strobes.
My work is digital unless otherwise stated. I also have experience in black/white film development and printing, color film shooting and printing, 4x5 view camera, digital scanning of black and white and color negatives and slide film, as well as digital printing.
I edit my images with Adobe Photoshop CS3.

I specialize in dramatic, theatrical portraits with artificial lighting. However, I am available for the following: modeling, engagements, seniors, babies & young children, live concerts, promotional band photography, and any church functions such as weddings, baptisms, etc. Contact me for rates.

Before you ask, yes, I do photograph myself. Any other questions you may have are most likely answered in my blog. If you have more questions, comment/message me.
Almost all of my work is available as a print. Again, contact me for prices.
I also welcome constructive criticism on all my photos.

When viewing my photos, please keep in mind that Myspace degrades the quality of my photos greatly. To see select higher quality versions, please visit my DeviantART or Flickr. I update Flickr more often.
