Member Spotlight

I received an email recently asking if I would agree to an interview for a “Member Spotlight” Feature on Expressions, a community of talented photobloggers that I am member of. Humbled and happy for the opportunity, I agreed and what follows are some excerpts from that interview. To read the feature in it’s entirety, click here.

“Beana crosses many genres; and is probably best-known for her performance photography such as the photo we featured last month of Pete Doherty (Babyshambles).

She’s a photographer’s photographer with a great style and always a pleasure to see at Expressions.

Beana has been on our ‘must feature’ list for a time. She didn’t know that until late yesterday. The reason we are featuring her today is Pete Doherty is suddenly in the news. Her photo of him is way better than others we’ve seen at news sites today.

Her photos are not always pin sharp and steady, even though she’s a bit of an equipment enthusiast she’s a photographer who thinks that the photo is often the situation not the sharpness.

“Beana Bern is already published. We think you’ll be seeing a lot more of this photographer with opinions and talent.

We like the fact that although she is Austria-based her photos do not scream ‘Tyrolean’ like a travel book, instead they tell about her life and personality.

She must have a great gym membership (or a private chiropractor) to deal with all that gear she carries to a paying gig. “

What a pleasure to be asked to share in this way! I am honored that Jon and Lorissa sought me out and am humbled and grateful for the kind words and support. And as for the gym membership and chiropractor, I wish :)
