About Me

Caitlyn Hammond - Self Portrait

Every photograph I take brings a small smile to everyone’s face.

Every photograph I take brings a small smile to everyone’s face, making my day. I strive to capture the wonders in this world and the beauty of everyone I meet.

Sometimes, the beauty is taking an image of the world’s darker side. There is a Yin Yang to life. One cannot exist without the other.

Sometimes, we have to struggle to find the wonder in this world. I want to capture that wonder. That wonder can heal your inner spirit. The spirit that some of us don’t want to face. No matter how dark or how bright the subject is, I’ll be there to capture that photograph.

During my life, I’ve struggled to find my way and know what brought me here.

As a child, I enjoyed taking pictures and dressing up. I never realized that photography was my passion. Photography was just a hobby.

I enjoyed photography, but I dropped my hobby because of a straightforward word – depression. For years, I struggled to fight depression. Once I made new friends, I saw the world in a different light. That’s when everything changes for the better.

I went to my first cosplay convention and started taking pictures. That’s when it hit me. I found my love for photography again and started on my path to becoming a professional photographer. There are thoughts in the back of my head if this is the path for me, but I keep going and facing the unknown.

My whole life I struggled to find my way and know what brought me where I am now. As a kid, I enjoyed taking pictures and dressing up but I never saw that taking pictures was my passion it was just a hobby to me and nothing really came out of it. photography was something I enjoyed doing but I dropped my hubby because of one simple word depression. I struggled fighting it for many years but once I got new friends and finally saw the world in a different light. That’s when everything changes for the better. I went to my first convention and started taking pictures of cosplayers and that’s when everything hit me. I found my love for photography again and started on my path becoming the photographer I am today. There were thoughts back of my head not knowing if this was the path for me or not but I kept going and facing the unknown.

Every picture I take brings a small smile to everyone’s face that makes my day. I want to capture the wonders in this world and the pretty of everyone I meet. Sometimes the pretty is taking a picture of the dark side of this world because I believe you have to have Yin-Yang in your life one can’t live without the other. Sometimes we have to struggle to find our wonder in this world. I want to capture that because it could heal your inner spirit that some people don’t want to face. No matter how dark or how bright the subject is I’ll be there to capture that photograph.

- Edward Steichen -

“A portrait is not made in the camera but on either side of it.”

- Robert Frank -

“There is one thing the photograph must contain – the humanity of the moment.”

- Paul Caponigro -

“It’s one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like, it’s another thing to make a portrait of who they are.”

- Don McCullin -

“Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.”
