About Nechama

I started out my photography about four years ago when I started my thesis project called “26 Faces,” where I connected with 26 people and asked them to share with me an emotional moment in their life. I then created an image that would bring out the feelings behind their moment. Finally I took their picture. (View recap of 26 faces here: https://www.facebook.com/26FacesTP/?fref=ts )

Creating this project I found how much I loved working with people, hearing their story's and finding that priceless moment. I realized how much I didn't want the project to end, from there I decided to never stop shooting!

Currently, I specialize in headshots for artists, portraits for makeup artists, hair stylists, fashion designers, and anyone wishing to get their photo taken!

I use a SONY Mirrorless A7ii and I mostly the 85 1.8 Zeiss Batis and 55 Zeiss lenses.
At this point, I use Nissan Speed lights together with some Wescott softboxes as light, and besides for the constant charging of batteries, it has been working just fine!

I love photography and cannot wait to see where it will take me next
