My passion for photography started at the age of 13 when my parents gave me a Kodak Disposable Camera to take to camp. After that, I took fine art photography and journalism photography classes in high school, and photography classes in college. I have completed a design internship at Shelton's Photography and Design where I learned portrait photography. I have also worked as a professional photographer and freelance photographer for the past 5 years.
Equipment: Canon 30D, Canon 24-70mm 2.8/L, Canon 18-55mm, Sigma 70-300mm, Speedlight 430ex, Sekonic Light Meter
In order to do what I want to do at the professional level, there is a huge expense… over $10,000 dollars. On top of the expenses, the camera I currently have is getting old and is starting to develop some issues, and I'm wanting to step up to the next level of having tack sharp photographs. One of my Goals over the next 2 years or so is to obtain the equipment I need to do what I love to do at the quality I would like to produce. You can track my progress with the progress meter to the right of the screen (—>).
I am looking for people to hire me as a photographer, or for people who are willing to sponsor my photographic endeavors as a professional photographer and a Minister who would like to use photography to show what God is doing around the world. Anyone who is willing to purchase a piece of equipment will in turn receive a personal or family photo session and a CD with High resolution images. If someone is looking for a wedding photographer, I'll shoot it for free if they purchase the Canon 70-200mm lens. The most important equipment needs start at the bottom of the chart to the right.
I know this may seem weird, unrealistic, or bad that I would be asking for people to sponsor or give me equipment. All I know is that it never hurts to ask. You'll never know who God may send to this site that is able and willing to help in this area.
To date: $0 of $10,082.79 has been obtained
If you would like to purchase equipment or sponsor my equipment needs please contact me by e-mail at arweatherly@gmail.com.
As a Photographer who has been trained as a photojournalist, my Goal is to be the best photographer that I can possibly be, to support my family, and to document what God is doing around the world through the efforts of Missionaries. My heart is to travel all over the world to bring back images to help promote the missions efforts of the Assemblies of God World Missionaries, and to work at the International Media Ministries in Madrid Spain to produce video curriculum and evangelistic tools for people all over the world.
