<h3><em><strong>Freelance Photography by Laura Shmania-- Chapel Hill, NC</strong></em></h3> The literal meaning of the word photography is “light writing.” As a photographer, I am a student of light, color, form, perspective, texture, and composition. My quest is to capture the magical qualities of light and the beauty in life's fleeting moments; to tell a story. Thanks for stopping by. Please check back regularly, as I add new photos every day! My photos have appeared in numerous publications, as well as solo and group art shows. I am available for assignments- events and artists/musicians promotional. Contact me for rates. To see photos I have taken for the Carolina Friends School - theatre, dance, sports, school life- <a href ="http://cfs-photos.smugmug.com/ ">click here</a> All photos ©2005-2009 Laura Shmania.
