Spotlight Profile - Kristi Bonney

12/9/2014

It's Tamron Tuesday and time for another spotlight profile of one of Tamron's Image Masters. This week, Kristi Bonney is in the spotlight.

On her Image Masters' page, Kristi is described as:

"...a lifestyle photographer, blogger, and social media enthusiast based in Lake Chelan, Washington. She specializes in lifestyle portraiture and landscape photography. Her personal work is inspired by the physical and emotional connections and relationships that her subjects have with their environment.

Kristi has worked as a brand ambassador for respected companies in the photography industry, had her work featured in various online publications, and has shared her expertise as a speaker and on her photography blog, Live.Explore.CLICK! Kristi enjoys creating personal images for her self-portrait and travel documentary photo projects when she's not busy working on commissioned shoots. Kristi's passion for photography is eclipsed by her love of parenting, her island home of Hawaii, and the sheer awesomeness of benchpressing more than her own body weight. Kristi hates referring to herself in the third person."

You have to love that last paragraph, because so often we forget that talented artists have some very important passions outside of photography!

Make sure Kristi is on your radar and visit her site and follow her blog. You won't be disappointed.

The toughest challenge I always have with a spotlight post is picking out images representative of the artist's work. Well, here are some of my favorites, but visit Kristi's site and decide which are yours. Without question her passion for the craft comes through with each image in her gallery, especially when she's enjoying her role as a parent along with being a photographer.
