Hello all! I’m Erin Berry, from Focused Dreamer Photos. I am documentary/portraiture/fine art photographer, {I can’t pick just one!} located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I’ve been shooting with my camera since May 2015, but my experience goes back to 2006 using film. I love my Nikon D5300. My favorite lens is my 50mm prime but recently got my hands on a 35mm and it’s giving my 50 a run for its money. I am so thrilled to be a guest judge this week on Dear Photographer!

10 Fun Facts about Me
- My favorite comfort food: Peanut Butter Cookie Dough.
- If I could only shoot one thing the rest of my life it would be still life.
- I still feel really weird telling people “I’m a photographer”.
- I believe ice cream for breakfast is literally the best part about being an adult.
- Most of my inspiration stems from Vivian Maier. If you haven’t read about her, you need to. She was an amazing street photographer and a very interesting character.
- I have eight nieces and nephews {not including a great-niece} ranging in ages 26 years to 4 months. {I’m only 27.}
- I married my husband after only knowing him eight months, and we are going seven years strong {With two beautiful boys.}
- I edit my images almost 100% in Lightroom. I use Photoshop to watermark and that’s about the extent of my knowledge.
- I really really want to go on a National Geographic Photo Expedition.
- I have social anxiety issues with meeting people for the first time. It makes photo shoots super awkward until I warm up a little.
Have fun!
