Crys Torres Photography
How do you fuel your creativity?
Connection with other creative people fuels my creativity. I love to collaborate and shoot with other photographers and bounce ideas off of each other. Another thing that fuels my creativity is music. Singing, going to shows, listening to my husband play guitar. Going to art shows and galleries. I just love to be around other creatives and immersed in the experience. That part of me was stifled growing up, so I think I'm healing that part of my inner child by partaking in as much creativity as possible.
Why do you do what you do?
Photography has been the thing that has carried me through some of the darkest times of my life. It started with film, waaaay back when I was a nerdy high school student. Then, for some time it was with an Iphone. My husband got me my first "real" camera nearly 10 years ago and that's kind of where I hit the ground running. I take photos because I love to. It brings me so much joy to capture the beauty around me. The past 6+ years have brought me to weddings and portraiture and I cannot imagine my life without photography. I love capturing precious moments as they unfold before my eyes. Telling a love story with the photos I take is truly the best feeling and it is such a privilege to be that fly on the wall in someone's most special moments. My art has become a way that I connect with and serve others and I wouldn't trade this for anything.
What do you love about using This Hudson Studio?
This Hudson Studio has been a game changer for me. I love walking in and just being overwhelmed by the gorgeous light that hits you. It's a tastefully decorated clean slate that gives endless possibilities for photography.
