Hey guys, I'm Daina βπ» A thirty-something year old, board game addict, self-care enthusiast, yogi wannabe - who mostly listens to music made before I was born, with an insatiable craving for wonton noodle soup.β
β
I thought its bout time I introduce myself properly for anyone that isn't my mum, so you can finally put a face to a name.β
β
Other than listening to Queen on repeat and spending days hunting down decent soup - I'm also a wife to the best husband everrr, a sister to 3 older siblings, the youngest babe to the most caring parents out, and a stubborn virgo (if that counts for anything)β
β
Yet more importantly I pride myself on being a documentary photographer (soz fam) I'm also a small business owner who by default wears many hats like marketer, copywriter, social media manager and accountant. It's a hard slug, but the passion and love I have for all things photography is too strong to let my story be anything else. β
β
I've been shooting since 2013 and have been fortunate to experience many fields of photography such as product, food, interior, events, and travel. Next to working with the likes of Canon, Airbnb, The Leukaemia Foundation, and many swanky eateries and venues throughout Sydney - my biggest highlight was a year sabbatical travelling this glorious globe with my camera in hand, and husband in tow β
β
Travelling for 14 months gave me the opportunity to hone in on my craft and develop on my skills as a photographer. By documenting my travels to no agenda but my own, gave me the insight to figure out what type of photographer I aim to be.β
β
Μd19 means my business as usual, is unfortunetly no longer usual. I can't go out to shoots for the foreseeable future so instead of sitting here like a sack of potatoes reading game of thrones every second of my day, I hope to inspire and resonate with fellow photographers by sharing what I've learnt along the way, so you too can learn or up-skill. A safe space for new learning.β
β
So, to new, dear, and longtime virtual friends of my Insta, I say a big warm Hiya from me to you, and look forward to getting to know you all a lil betterπ
