One of the best birthday gifts I ever<br />
received was a Pentax camera from<br />
my parents. I was a teenager and I<br />
loved that camera. It was a Pentax<br />
35mm camera that long preceded the<br />
days of digital.<br />
I loved photography and used the<br />
camera whenever I had the chance. I<br />
loved the art of composing moments<br />
frozen in time through the lens. Years<br />
later those photos provide a glimpse<br />
back in time – of my life as a younger<br />
person and the documented milestones<br />
and highlights of friends and<br />
family.<br />
I loved shooting nature, wildlife, architecture<br />
and always travelled with<br />
my camera close at hand – capturing<br />
magical travel moments in the UK,<br />
Europe, South East Asia, Australia<br />
and of course, Canada and the USA.<br />
I started shooting seriously in 2013<br />
and at that time decided to turn what<br />
had been a hobby into a business and<br />
so was born Devon Reed Photography<br />
and Video. Since then, I have shot<br />
baby photos, family photos, fashion<br />
shows, models, concerts, weddings,<br />
engagements and product photography.<br />
However, I have tried to narrow the<br />
scope of my photography to fashion,<br />
weddings, family, engagement and<br />
event photography. I truly do enjoy<br />
collaborating with models and<br />
creating interesting artistic visual<br />
concepts.<br />
I find that these model photo shoots<br />
tend to push me to experiment and<br />
become even more creative with the<br />
art of photography and drive me to<br />
continually get better at my craft.<br />
I have been blessed to have worked<br />
with a number of amazing people<br />
through this creative time, including<br />
models, makeup artists and other<br />
photographers. They have helped me<br />
see my subject even better through<br />
the lens.<br />
I’m a Canon shooter now and still<br />
pack my camera with me when travelling<br />
and still enjoy documenting<br />
trips and excursions through the lens<br />
of a camera.<br />
And although I still have the Pentax<br />
and a few of its lenses, I don’t use it<br />
anymore but it’s sure nice to have as a<br />
memory of where I started – and the<br />
best birthday gift I ever received.<br />
