Artist Statement
My photographs are essentially a glimpse of where I’ve been, what I’ve done, and what I enjoy. I like my photographs to be simple, elegant, bright, and fun, capturing details of an image that typically get surpassed in our fast paced lives. I would have to say that I don't have a particular style when it comes to photographing life, I feel that if something is appealing to the eye it should be captured to remember its beauty at that moment. I personally love capturing people, animals, and landscapes. Traveling is a passion of mine, so I try to capture as much of this world as I can because change is inevitable. Some of the photos on my page were contributed by my sister and aunt because they too travel the world and love to capture life just as much as I do. I believe that important moments in life should always be captured because as good as a memory is, a picture is worth even more. I feel that simplicity truly captures the intense details of an image. There is more to life than what meets the eye and a photograph can prove that statement. Throughout this photography course I have learned how difficult it truly is to capture that "perfect" photo. There are so many details that go into it, whether it’s the type of day, the lighting, or the angle of the person/object/landscape that you are trying to photograph. I feel that photography has opened my eyes to so many new perspectives when it comes to looking at something. I have a new found respect for the details in life and how they can be captured to tell a countless number of stories. Without a doubt, photography has broadened my horizons on the world of art and changed my outlook on life.
