Introduce Yourself : A photographer's life for me... by Traci Wightman

I am a photographer, and have held a camera in my hand since I was 12 years old. I love photography. I also love movies. It was my dream as a kid to go to film school to become a cinematographer. I shot video for school projects and played around with editing in our media center every chance they would allow me do. Film fascinates me. I was persuaded to pursue other paths, but have come back around to incorporating photography back into my life. I worked on my first film set as a stills photographer in 2010. I even started reaching out to other photographers to find out about their experiences on set. I would like to get more set work and have not problems with traveling to participate in filming.
