More about Shari S....
What do you love about your job?
I photograph properties…homes for sale, holiday lets, restaurants and bars but mostly holiday lets. I love to see how people decorate and all the little memories they have in their homes. It open up a conversation about the guests they’ve met and their travels. People open up to me for some reason and I love that.
I also love being able to stay at interesting and wonderful places. Sometime a client will want day/evening photos so they offer to put me up for a night or two.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I've done thousands of property shoots and mostly they are all special in their own way. I don't always get the opportunity to photograph in the later part of the day so when I do, I can turn an exterior shot into something really special with just getting the time of day right. During day shoots, if I have a bright blown out sky, I can make it pop by adding in beautiful but settle colours.
I was also selected to do a three day shoot along The Otway Harvest Trail in 2018. This was a great experience and it allowed me to shoot more products then I'm used to shooting.
Awards, honors, and recognitions received
I've showcased my private work at exhibitions in Kingston Art Gallery and Mr Burch’s Café. Some of my work has been displayed on the cover of the Yellow Pages and has also been highly commended for entries at Kingston Lens Mist Competition.
