Artist Statement
As an artist, I look to incorporate things that I like into my photographs. As I began taking photos I really was not sure what would capture my attention. I discovered I am attracted to different and unique angles as well as capturing expressions of others who surround me. By the end of the course I realized for my portfolio, taking photos of people and shoes seemed to be a repeating pattern in my work. Though these specific two things may not always be my focus, for this work, I really liked using these creative objects.
I decided to take part in this class because I have always been drawn to photography. As a child, my mother would take pictures all the time, capturing different moments. Everywhere we would go as a family, no matter if it were to a store and she saw a unique bird in the sky, or if we went on a trip to a new and exciting place, she’d never miss an opportunity to pull out her camera. She takes many photographs and has influenced me to follow in her footsteps. I have realized, through the old photo albums we have laying around at my house with pictures full of many generations before me, how it is important to capture great memories. So, taking Photography One has been a great opportunity to learn some new and amazing photography skills that will be with me throughout my life.
