I, Carmen Jimenez, live in Houston and have specialized in portrait photography for the past 2 years. Although I am still growing as a photographer, I have seen growth in my skills in photography. I have been told by my previous and current photography teachers that I have grown as a photographer and I can potentially make it a business. As a full time high school student, I enjoy taking pictures of people in my diverse community. I see beauty in all people and I believe they have a unique way of showing who they are through a single picture. I try to show a natural posture in my models as much as possible, so an awkward feeling is not present in the picture. I enjoy such an atmosphere that it has allowed me to show who I am.
