My name is Chayla and I have been photographing for 11 years now. I was drawn to photography because it is a blending of science and creativity. The processes involved very much appeal to both sides of my personality; I love the technical aspects and the expressive nature of capturing images.
Both reality and unreality.
I have worked extensively with both Film and Digital, but mostly shoot digital now. I miss the darkroom with an indescribable ache... I always felt like a great sorceress, pouring over her potions, until both shadow and light revealed themselves to me.
Our LensFemmes project is a very important to me - I consider myself a feminist and supporting other women, especially within my own industry, is close to my heart.
Marijke is a goddess walking among us. She carries herself with an effortless elegance and I loved photographing her!
She is a visual artist, performer and photographer, and I always find her work thought provoking and inspiring. I love the shapes she can create with her slender form and how her classic features look in this mixture of eclectic surroundings. This is natural lighting with gradient colour overlays applied in Lightroom.
Her very name indicates the fierceness of this red haired vixen! Kat is a woman of many talents - photographer, belly dancer, fire breather and model! I have had the pleasure of knowing her for a very long time and have such respect for her.
I love how such a tiny person can light up a room (and my camera)! I used the large ceiling bulb for this image and converted it to a split toned black and white using Lightroom.
This gorgeous lady is an icon of style. From burritos to burlesque, there is nothing Perrie can’t do! She is so in tune with her body and I adore the way she knows how to work her shape for the camera. This is natural lighting with some gradient colour overlays applied in Lightroom.
Perrie shines so brightly among the many stars in my life; everyone speaks of her with such respect and love. I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone more supportive and encouraging of others! LensFemmes was her brainchild and I feel so privileged to be apart of it.
Thank you all for reading and looking!
