My name is Belinda G Kranz; and BAKZ Photography was established in 2014 however I have been an avid photographer for many years - I purchased my first SLR (film) camera in 1986. I have a solid three and a half years as a dedicated professional photographer. I am located just outside Kingaroy QLD, Australia in a beautiful spot opposite the local golf course, having lived at my current address for 12 years.
My qualifications include a Certificate III In Office Administration; a Diploma Of Business and a Diploma Of Photography & Photo Imaging.
Why Should You Hire ME?
My own unique style and artistic vision is to create more than just a ‘snapshot’ or an exact copy. I like to get it right in camera. I bring something of 'myself' - my philosophy, perception, eye, sensitivity and creative talent to my work - I love what I do and this I bring across to you, my client.
At BAKZ Photography my mission is to create artistic pieces which can be displayed on walls of houses, offices and more. I passionately create and offer art pieces such as landscapes and fine art : granting you access to beautiful places without needing to travel.

A little bit more about me......
I love to photograph a little of everything. Photography is my passion and I love to do more than just take a photo - I make it. Seeking out my next project is an exhilerating experience - be it something personal for myself, or work for a client. With portrait photography I get to create an observance of a person/people that they have never seen themselves as. I capture a 'moment'. When I photograph landscapes it is a way to express myself, as well as enjoy a wander in nature. It is about capturing an image in a way that people would never imagine it. To me photography is about making a simple stick look amazing, of getting the viewer to see it in a new light they have never seen before .... of making the ordinary EXTRA ordinary - which is part of my mission statement.
