Hello!!
My name is Michele Parent, I newly moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I'm 28, and I'm a license hairstylist and makeup artist, I come from professional live theatre (head of wardrobe/ costume designer) and I also do work as graphic design, wedding book design and photography. I'm an artist and designer at heart and use photography as one of my means of expression.
I've been in love with photography for about 12 years now, but could only afford my first camera about 4 years ago. I've started with film, then purchased a fujifilm finepix s5100, it trained me to use manual, digital and photoshop, then 2 year after and over 12 000 pictures, I bought my Canon EOS rebel xsi, love it so far till i can invest in slightly better. I'm also a very passionate Photoshop CS3 fan!!!
I'm very thankful for all the employment I have had in my life, they made me a better and well rounded photographer. with and eye for styling hair and makeup, i also make most of the costumes and hats I use. I love building a creating concepts for backgrounds. And my partner is a theatre lighting designer on the side, so I have had the "lighting talk"..lol I love to spend too much money on Ebay on props and love to come up with little story boards to make my clients feel more comfortable playing a role instead of hiding behind there insecurities. My guilty pleasure is macro photography, it's so simple, i rarely ever edit the pictures but it can have such an impact.
There you go, that's pretty much all I am!!!
