Veiled

VEILED - exploring the significance throughout time and culture.   Veils first appeared in ancient cultures as a form of protection from evil spirits. Its symbolism has changed over time, from status in society, to sign of innocence and propriety. While some view the veil as a way to divide god and men, biblically the veil is seen as access, unity and intimacy with the Divine. Besides its enduring religious significance, veiling continues to play a role in almost all cultures on the planet to this day. I've worn veils  throughout my life, all 3 of my weddings, religious ceremonies an aplenty of times for fun. Like this shoot with my girls (and self portraits on timer). And the significance of the rose.... that's for another time

Setting sail on this journey to photography feels like a heartwarming reunion with an old friend – my Canon camera, a cherished gift from my filmmaking father over a decade ago. Life's whirlwind of raising my delicious daughters, Sahana and Dylana, had me trading lenses for lullabies. But now, as I step into my “study era”, a newfound passion for product photography ignites my creativity. Through the lens, I'm not only capturing textures and details; I'm encapsulating memories and stories, a skill I feel was more passed down to me than learned. The classroom has become a haven of inspiration, where peers and I, amplify each other's artistic strengths. Amidst the camaraderie, my styling flair has found its home, intertwining with the talents of those around me. And the teachers – luminaries of expertise and encouragement – sprinkle each lesson with a dash of optimism, turning each click of the shutter into a whisper of possibility.  (written by ai)
