Featured Photographer: Lina Hayes / Wild at Heart Photography
Lina Hayes of Wild at Heart Photography is a photographer we find truly inspirational. The talented creative is based in Sydney, Australia, and after studying Exercise Science at Sydney University, she realised it just wasn't the life she was looking for. Instead, Lina found herself drawn to the wonderful world of photography, and from the first time she picked up a camera Lina aimed to convey not only what she saw, but also what she felt.
Lina's passion for her photography career radiates from everything she does. The photographer explains: "Every person I meet inspires me in a different way; every person has a story to tell. Life is short, be with people who brighten up the room, enjoy what nature has to offer, and most importantly, do all things with love."
A few months ago, Lina decided to take a slightly different direction from her usual landscape photography, and headed in the direction of genres which fascinate her a lot more, specifically portraits and wedding photography. She states: "I live for hearing the stories about how people met their partner, how amazing (or shocking!) their first date was, how they slow dance in their lounge room whenever their favourite song comes on, and the day they realised they had found their soulmate."
Lina's photography is elegant, stunning and touching in the way she beautifully captures the emotions and personality of each of her subjects. When it comes to what inspires Lina's creativity and how she best likes to spend her free time, she lists "flowers, cooking from scratch, exploring, picnics, and all of the above combined."
