Caitlin Collins standing in front of one of her favorite photographs during her opening reception, "Beautiful LiFe" on July 25th, 2014 at Re-invent Gallery in Lake Forest, Illinois. The photographic exhibition runs from July 25th - September 6, 2014.

NS:  What do you think the similarities and differences are between a fine art photographer and an artist? You were saying that you are a professional family portrait photographer and this fine art exhibit of yours is one you just recently put together.

CC: As an artist I have picked my specialty as a fine art photographer. Being an artist is how one uses color, and composition to express  the world they see around them. I use my fine art background to create fine art family portraits, as well as my photographs that come together to create the Beautiful LiFe exhibit

CC:  A fine art photographer. That's a very interesting question. Because, right, when you think fine art, I suppose it would be painting and sculpture; things that have been around for thousands of years.

NS:  We have a new art medium to work with.

CC:  I love fine art photography being film, because you have more of a hands on process with producing the final piece of art, than with digital.

NS:  So in digital photography, do you digitally develop your work?

SS:  Right, everything is on the computer . . .

NS:  Do you do your own printing?

CC:  I used to, I don’t anymore just because of the time frame and how much space it takes up, and all of that, so I unfortunately can’t produce it myself.

NS:  Here is another question. How do you think your experience doing this series will effect doing your next series for another gallery exhibit.

CC:  Because I did several different elements, now that I am seeing everything up on the walls, I will be able to do more localized portions of each one and expand on those. I am excited to be able to do that.

 NS: Caitlin, where can readers see more of your work?

CC:  I use Facebook, Instagram, and ofcourse a my own website. They are: www.csavillephotography.com https://www.facebook.com/C.SavillePhotography http://instagram.com/csavillephotography

Note from the author:  I recently bought a new phone having a virtual tour mode as part of its default camera app. Please see a virtual tour of Caitlin's work in the Re-invent Gallery.
