4 4 MPSSA Professional photographer and passionate picture taker, realized her passion for the arts at an early age. She delved into various mediums, experimenting with painting, drawing, sculpture and etching. As a photographer she tries to be as versatile as possible but favors portraiture and monochrome. Her fascination with creating rather than taking photographs explains her current passion for altered reality multi imaging. It embraces her love for both the fine arts and photography and allows for complete artistic freedom. Caitlin with arum lilies Dancing in the mist
