In the Selective Corner

I am so sad for Selective Color today. I didn't know until the last couple of days that is was so ill regarded in professional photography circles. Apparently, I have been living in a cave.

I like Selective Color. I know... I am checking the sky for lightning as I type. I agree that it can be over done, done badly and done in ways that are a little too cutesie and just wrong.

I think it's the artist in me...the love of color, the mixer of paints, the collector of swatches. I use color in everything I do. My quilts are compiled of much color consideration. Every room in my house has a theme and a color. Mind you, I love black and white in photography and prefer it for most things. I just love the vague little messages and pause one can cause with Selective Color.

I am in the minority. It's my curse. I shall wear a selected scarlet S on my black and white chest!

I am Cherilyn

I am Cherilyn and I love pictures.

I love looking ot them, framing them and talking about them. I love taking them most of all.

After over 10 years of shooting, I have recently gone through a life changing crisis, which has accidentally exposed me to an entirely new society of photographers, resources, education and wonderment! That, along with the way in which the crisis has changed me, I have set a new bar, for myself, for my work, for the way I reach out to my clients and the world.

I am an artist first, honestly don't know enough about my camera and my mind always works about twice as fast as my fingers ever could... but I have always managed, so here goes!

Upcoming blogs... detailed explanations of my views and aspirations on all of my products; Families, Seniors, Baby, Boudoir, Etc... an entire blog will be dedicated to Weddings, story of the Cherilyn David name and all about Caisla... my daughter, my light. Every photographer needs her light.

I mean business, so "upcoming" means all of those blogs in the next week or so. Stay tuned!!
