My name is Jayce Van Der Linden as it says right above here. I am from Edmonton Alberta, Canada. Here in Edmonton I am a photographer by night and a construction worker by day. Eventually I would love to make photography my full time job.
I come from a family of 5 people, my dad, Ron, my mom, Sheila, my sister Jordynn and my brother Colton. so that makes its 5 including myself. I am the oldest of us siblings.
Things that I love (in no specific order)
Photography, more specifically portraits of people.
Creating
Family, my family is everything too me, They love unconditionally.
Friends, they push and challenge you. They are also the coolest people i know.
Worshiping with a large group of people, its an experience you cant put into words.
Talking with people who are so passionate about what they do.
Things I do in my Spare time
Take photographs
Create time-lapse videos like the one attached
Go for coffee or a beer with a friend or friends.
Hang out and do nothing with people
Hang out and do nothing by myself
Inspiration
I love to talk to people about what inspires them, what makes them tick.
Zack Arias is a photographer I have admired since day one of being a photographer. He is a down to earth, tells it as it is kind of guy. If he looks at your photos and doesn't like them, he will tell you, but he will say what he doesn't like about it, and go on to tell you how to make it better. He is a christian, and has gone through a lot in his life. Losing his wife and and company because he focused too much on photography. Since then he has gotten married again, and built up a successful photography business on better practices and knows when to stop.
When is all said and done, the thing the inspires me the most are other peoples stories of their life. I love getting to know people by the stories they tell me. That is one thing I really am going to try and do more of before and on this adventure that I am preparing for.
God bless you all,
Jayce
