Meet Virginia (Nina) Allwood
With a passion for food, travel and photography and a decade of experience in international advertising and marketing, Nina knows the power of a good picture. Her love of photography took a new turn when when she discovered film photography with a Nikon FM2 offered by a friend. Nowadays she uses mostly digital photography as it's an easier way to share and edit pictures rapidly.
She loves immersing herself in portrait sessions. "Getting to know my models and seeing them relax through the session and forget all about the camera makes me most happy!".
