Natalie Toombs - Interview - Apr 16/12

I go to my share amount of local live shows, and Natalie Toombs is always present at most of the ones I attend with a camera in her hand.  She is a passionate photographer and I was lucky to be able to ask her some questions about her career so far on Prince Edward Island.

1. Tell me a bit about yourself.

- I am a 21 year old female photographer, animal lover, and music junkie who was raised on Prince Edward Island.

2.  When did you start getting into photography?

- It was in December 2010, when I received a Canon Rebel XSI from a friend of mine.  It honestly changed my life in the most positive ways.  I always thought I was going to be a nobody while growing up, now I have so much confidence and motivation to achieve my new dream of becoming a professional photographer.  It’s all about passion.

3. What is your favourite subject to photograph?

- My favourite subject to photograph would have to be capturing my friends when they are not expecting it; candid photos are my favourite.

4. What is the best part about being a photographer?

- Being able to capture moments and sharing them with others.

5. What is something people don’t know about you?

- When I was 6 years old the ball in my hip disintegrated.  I had to wear hip braces for 12 months of my life: 6 months for 24 hours a day and 6 months for 12 hours a day (I could take them off at night).  The disease is called “Legg-Calve’-Perthes” but thankfully the bone grew back properly and I haven’t had any problems in years!

6. What type of equipment do you use?

- I am a Canon lover, I use a Canon 7D.

7. Who or what inspires you?

- Love and support from my friends and family.

8.  Final thoughts?

I want to give a big thanks to The Scene Magazine for interviewing me, xo!
