Everything in photography comes down to one word: vision.
Call it vision, imagination, or seeing; it all comes down to the same thing: the ability to envision a final result in your mind's eye, and then to make it so with your tools at hand.

1. Tell me a little about yourself.
I am a Chicago born Pakistani photographer living in New Jersey. I love to find unusual abstracts and angles allowing the ordinary to appear extraordinary. I zoom in and bring light to the details of things around me. Creating abstracts and bringing attention to textures and patterns. My husband and I, along with our three year old boy and newborn love to travel enabling me to capture my adventures in bold, high contrast, dramatic photographs.
2. Where does your inspiration come from when crafting?
Everything! I love repetitive patterns, different types of architecture, I like to take something seemingly ordinary, overlooked and make it extraordinary.
3. Who taught you and how did you learn to craft?
I took photography as a minor in college.. and learnt the basics there.. and I continued to hone my skills and develop my point of view every day.
4. Any Specific Tips you have for newbie crafters starting a business in etsy?
Have patience.. don't expect your product to be flying off the virtual shelves the very next day..

SATURDAY REVIEWS: FOTOFUZE

REVIEWS: FOTOFUZE
Product
photography is very important to increasing sales and consumer trust. We
believe that with the right tools anyone can make professional product
photography. The right photo-editing software is essential in every Etsy shop.
The way FotoFuze helps is by taking photos of your products on flat, white or
black background and removing that background, leaving only the product and a
distraction free clean, crisp white background.
I highly recommend Fotofuze.com in product photography. The
drawback? It doesn’t work well with some browsers like IE. I use Chrome or
Firefox to achieve best results. Can’t complain, its free =)
