5fives with Natalie Lumpkin

Today we say hello to Natalie from San Francisco –  she takes such lovely photos and I defy anybody not to fall in love with the doggy in the ‘top 5 photos’ below… 

Natalie LumpkinFreezing moments in time, sharing the world, capturing love, life and the things that connect us.

Photography is my creative way of contributing to art the world, and hopefully my images provide a momentary escape which touch my viewers emotionally. I do not have a speciality or focused area that I shoot – I shoot what moves me. The fusion of still photography and video is something I am very excited about exploring in 2013.

I live in San Francisco, CA and have been shooting with the intention of making great photographs for almost 2 years. I love my iPhone, I love my dSLR, and I have an extremely high appreciation for shooting and developing film. As long as I can capture what I see and convey the way I’m feeling it – I am happy!
