Teri Genovese Photography Blog bio picture

in a nutshell:

I am hopelessly sentimental and love creating art by documenting the beauty I perceive in life.  I live for yoga, hiking, weekend road trips, a good book, keeping a daily journal, and anything chocolate.  :)

As a Los Angeles based freelance photographer, I specialize in documentary children's portraits and fine art photography.  I received a BA in photography from Columbia College Chicago in 2003.  My work has since been published in the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Parent Magazine, Los Angeles Times.com, Chicago Public Radio.com, and countless Chicago Children's Museum publications. 

inspiration:

There is a quiet beauty all around us every day.  It is so often overlooked, but magical when seen.  Photography is a gift that has always inspired me to truly see and appreciate life’s subtleties… those heart-wrenchingly beautiful moments in everyday life that make you pause and feel utterly grateful. 

Those are the moments I strive to capture...

pause a while..

i’ve been feeling a bit contemplative lately.. craving peace and solitude. i took these at the grand canyon in june with my diana camera. long, patient exposures. the first one seems more like an impressionistic painting than a photograph and i wish i could dive right in.

“This benefit of seeing…can come only if you pause a while, extricate yourself from the maddening mob of quick impressions ceaselessly battering our lives, and look thoughtfully at a quiet image…the viewer must be willing to pause, to look again, to meditate.” – Dorothea Lange

August 27, 2008 - 10:59 pm The WordSmith from Nantucket - I think a lot of us are feeling a bit lost or unnerved.

I'm not sure if the pictures of peaceful landscapes are enough to stem the tides of dejection, and offer a moment's solace.

August 28, 2008 - 8:00 am Teri - sure, but i hope they inspire a sense of peacefulness and positive change.. even just for a moment. ;)

September 1, 2008 - 7:12 pm The WordSmith from Nantucket - Well...looking forward for some fun and laughs tomorrow.

"peaceful" probably won't best describe it though...
