J. Allen Photography

That Skill Level is a difficult question to answer.

I'm pretty much self taught on my camera and off camera lighting. I use YouTube when I don't understand something and it helps greatly. I have been shooting since 2010, but put the camera down for about 4 years. I would shoot on and off in those years, mainly for family and close friends. In 2019 I rededicated myself to photography. I wanted to see a change in my work and over the past 15 months, I've grown quite a bit. Often times, I think I have a long way to go, but sometimes, I get the feeling, and I mean this as humbly as possible, that I am much better than I give myself credit for.

But I want to continue to grow and improve. So I don't want to stop shooting, ever. That 4 year blank spot was time that I could have grown and I didn't. I quit on myself and I don't want to ever let that happen again.
