Hello all!
Welcome to Art Klicks Photography official blog!
Here you will see what I’ve been up to, you will meet some of my wonderful clients, and learn a little more about the photography world as I live in it. There may be a few random thoughts here and there as I can be a random person at times.
First, lets tell you a little bit about me. I grew up and currently live in Lincoln, NE. (Yes, the Good Life and Go Huskers!) I went to Lincoln High which is located in the middle of town. It’s the oldest High School in town, celebrating it’s 100th year this year. I loved going to Lincoln High, being in central Lincoln, my high school was very diverse and really opened my eyes to what is really in this world. That is when I knew that I wanted to do something with people.
At first I thought about going to school for photojournalism because I also loved to write. Well I enjoyed creative writing, not really reporting. So I thought about what I enjoyed most about photography, and that was seeing the raw emotion on peoples faces when they look at what I’ve created with my camera. My decision was made, I was going to school for photography. Which is a gamble in these days with being digital and everyone with a nice camera is a ‘photographer.’
Now I’m not one of those photographers that dislike other photographers, I mean that’s like others not liking me because I’m a photographer, that doesn’t make sense. What frustrates me is the mom down the street that just decides one day to purchase the “big expensive camera,” shoots on auto, then hands them a disc of images and says “go print them yourself” then calls themselves a professional. In my opinion that is a dis-serves.
That being said I believe that we should be able to help each other out in the industry, be a constructive critic if asked, and overall, be an addition to the photography world, not a subtraction.
I look forward to reaching out to people through my blog and getting to know more of you. If you have questions, feel free to ask.
