Skyelar Payne

In 2020 my best friend handed me his old Canon Rebel T4. I had just finished a round of mods on my car and wanted pictures of it. I shot the whole thing on automatic, every setting the camera had, and then I wanted to know why a few of them worked and the rest didn't.

The first frame I'd call mine was a 2012 Mazdaspeed 3, tech package, liquid silver. After that it stopped being about the car.

Now I shoot cars, wildlife, landscapes, and people. That's a lot of different subjects, but I don't pick them to fit a niche. I shoot what I like, and what ties it all together is that I'd rather capture something than make something.

In a session I'll pose you when a shot needs it, but I'd rather give you something to do. I start further back than most people expect and work my way in once everyone's forgotten I'm there.
