Alison Du Bois, Graduate Gemologist, Accredited Jewelry Professional, Pearls Graduate (GIA)
Waking up each day brings a feeling of excitement to take photographs that bring me great joy. I am excited to be able to share the artistic way that I see the world with others through the use of my camera. Digital photography has given me the opportunity to explore techniques without fear of going broke developing miles of unusable film, and has allowed my art to progress. The camera that I used to take most of my photographs is a Canon Rebel XT using a 17-85mm lens. Most of my photographs are presented as they were taken - exceptions that have been manipulated will be noted in their description.
My studies at the Gemological Institute of America have prepared me to offer some limited gemological services, including procurement of special gems on your behalf. Please feel free to contact me with your requests. Additionally, as I create handcrafted jewelry pieces they will be offered here for sale over the next few months. Thank you for your patience.
I hope that my perspective of this beautiful planet inspires you to look closely and savor each moment!
