Recently in exploring different sites, blogs and spending hours on pinterest I came across the photographer Whitney Ott Ott is a photographer based out of Atlanta, Georgia.  Her specialties are still life and food photography but I'm convinced that she can make anything beautiful Her site is wonderfully organized by dark, light and still life photos.  I love the darkness that she is able to capture within her photos.  Recently I've been using them more and more as mood and inspirational images while working on my projects.  Below are some personal favourite shots All photos are property and copyright of Whitney Ott Please be sure to check her out on facebook, instagram and her personal site to check out more of her work FACEBOOK  -   INSTAGRAM  -   WHITNEY OTT
