> About Lance Hardy
I have always loved photography. Since I was a little kid packing a series of cheap 110mm and 35mm cameras (I still remember the smell of the flash cube), I was fascinated with the ability to capture a single moment forever.
I've been asked why glamour photography appeals to me more as an artistic expression than landscape or wildlife. My reply is often, "A model doesn't require me to get up at 4:30am to catch her at her best."
While there is certainly an ounce of truth to that statement, the fact remains that I enjoy the challenge and relish the success of capturing moments of female beauty, playfulness, mischief, depth, and innocence. The process for each shoot is like a puzzle needing a solution, where ultimately all the various elements (location, lighting, props, clothing, hair and makeup, mood) come together to make something unique, creative, and satisfying.
