@cdannhausenbrun was chosen as our featured artist for the them {Quote} and I connected with Christine to learn a little bit more about her photography journey.

My favorite photos are constantly changing depending on what is technique I am working on in the moment or how I am trying to look at light. This photo of my nephew is one of my favorites at the moment because of the light. I have been looking at light more this year and how I capture it. I just love the light on him and how I caught it on his face so perfectly.

Tell us a bit about yourself?  And, are you a hobbyist or a pro?

What an honor to be interviewed! I am Christine and I am a wife, mother, photographer and public health researcher. I am a mother of six amazing children, ages 11 to 23 years old. I am a hobbyist photographer but have had a few paying clients over the years. My day job includes public health program evaluation, health surveys and working on health issues at the intersection of climate change.

I have been taking photos for as long as I can remember. I grew up watching my dad take photos and put on slide shows for us. I started my own photographic journey messing around with my dad’s 35mm camera and eventually had my own cartridge-based 110 camera. When I started dating my now husband, I could often be found absconding his Minolta 35 mm film camera. I currently shoot with a Canon 5D Mark IV. For Christmas and my upcoming birthday, I received a GoPro 9 and a drone. I cannot wait to begin experimenting with both.

I love this photo of my oldest son for the perspective and how much it captures his personality. He is going after everything he wants in this world.

What inspired you to pick up your camera initially? 

Documenting life is what inspired me to first pick up a camera. I never met my mom’s parents as they died while she was young. There were not many photos of her parents. As young child, I don’t know that I realized why I was picking up the camera then. As a mom I realize what I was doing. I was documenting moments with special people, milestone trips and those moments together at home to help hold onto memories and show us what our life was like in that moment in time. It what still drives my photography.

This is a photo of one of my daughters. We were on a ferry and I was inside the ferry, but she was out in the wind. I just loved the contrast of her eyes closed and almost meditative with the swirl of hair around her. The mask places this photo in a moment in time. These last 21 months and have had so many moments of calm at home together with all my kids, but also moments of complete chaos. It’s all there for me in this photo.

How do you improve your technique?

Practice! Classes through groups like Click Community. YouTube videos. Studying my own photos. I will look back at photos and think, ‘I should have adjusted for that horizon line,’ or ‘if I had moved over a foot, I could have cropped out that stop sign.’ It does not mean I always remember to do these things the next time, but it does help me become more aware over time.

This photo of two of my daughters was captured when I was working on perspective. It captured my daughter’s mood at the time as well.

Most important thing you have learned about editing?

I have a love/hate relationship with editing. I love playing with editing. At the same time, I don’t always trust myself. I second guess what I have done and then I start thinking about photographers who I admire and think that they would do it differently. Editing takes a lot of time and I definitely enjoy the process of taking a photo more than the editing. This means I am working on trying to get better with what I take in camera!

I love the negative space in this photo and just the pop of red.

Secret weapon. Or piece of advice that’s helped you?

I have a few pieces of advice that have helped me. First, critique your own photographs. It really is a skill that helps you begin to stop and look before you take a photograph. Second, stop, look and change your position. Changing position can completely transform a photo. Third, don’t compare yourself to others. Be you as it is what makes your photos unique. Fourth, compare yourself. At the same time, comparing yourself to others does give you ideas to spark your own creativity.

Another of my daughters and her eye contact in this photo is what draws me in. It was difficult to pick just a few favorite photos. If I chose them tomorrow, I’m sure they would be completely different.

Why photographs? Why not painting? Or poems? Or, for that matter, statutes or taxes?

I love documenting moments in time. For me, photography is the easiest way to do this. Painting a moment in time takes way too long! I admire those who paint and have many family members who have done it. I do also write poems or history letters.  I write a Christmas letter each year that encapsulates our year, but it is always interspersed with photographs. It is only as I have gotten older that I have realized how much of my history is intertwined with creating and documenting life.

The theme was {Quote} and there were so many different options. This was one of our quieter months. However this image by @cdannhousenbrun really stood out to me.

“There is so much going on in this image, the rule of thirds, negative space, leading lines, and reflections, that my mind kept going in different directions. Congratulations on this stunning image. ”

“My life is shaped by the urgent need to wander and observe, and my camera is my passport.” — Steve McCurry

Don’t we all, as photographers, feel that way at times. I know I speak for myself and most likely all the other ladies in the group, that when the opportunity arises to wander and observe, I am all for it, especially if it involves a passport. This month Lynne Grant Photography chose this {Quote} for us to blog on.

Covid has really restricted us the past two years, and I know I am about ready to pull out the passport and get myself on a plane and to do some traveling. In the interim, I know we all are confined to mainly local and making the most of what we can do in our immediate area and where we can travel by car.

This month I am excited to see how each one of the blog contributors has interpreted this quote.
