It was there in that program that she was able to live her dream- to do something that she loves, which is photography.
4) Be personable with your subject, allow them to become comfortable. 5) Set the envioronment for the photoshoot. There is nothing wrong with using props, adjusting the lighting, and even creating costumes.
In the program, she was one of the top students in her class. Rizzoʼs talent in photography caught the eye of Raphael Goldchain, the coordinator of the applied photography program at Sheridan. “Her main quality was to assimilate what we taught into the making of the body of work into her interests, and she wasnʼt just doing assignments.” Denyseʼs strengths Raphael Goldchain has summarized her strengths in the following ways:

“Ever since I have known Denyse she has been inspired and captivated, by the idea of capturing moments. However Denyse loved how personal photography was opposed to film. She could individually design a world and shoot it. She loved the idea of this, and as a result was drawn to photography."
Amber Coates has also modeled for Rizzo. “As her friend and a person who has modeled for her on several occasions, I can say that she is a pleasure to work with. She knows how to make a model feel comfortable and get into the “vibe” of the shoot. She also has a really relaxed and humourous attitude while shooting making it much easy to pose a certain way or give a certain expression, which could in another situation be awkward. "She is really professional, original and her works always inspires me. Not only is her composition beautiful but her sets and amazing skills on photoshop help aid her pictures to be as breathtaking as Iʼm sure many people agree they are!”
Her photography style Rizzo also mentioned that she would best describe her style in photography as either fine-art, fantasy portraiture, highfashion or surreal photography depending, on which photo an individual looks at.
Where does she see herself in the future? In the future Rizzo hopes to see herself working with fashion magazines, designers and models, taking high- fashion photographs in exotic settings all over the world.
