I first gained interest in photography in the summer of my 8th
grade year. My father showed me
how to use his old Nikon film camera and I instantly fell in love with it and
have been making photos ever since.
Photography has always intrigued me simply because of its uniqueness as
a medium of art. The concept of
making a photograph fascinates me by how many elements of light it combines
just to make one image. What
intrigues me most about photography is the aspect of a capturing a moment in
time, when making a photo, that can be preserved forever in that specific time.
I have traveled to many places so being able to preserve those memories by
taking photos has been very important to me. When I make photos I usually end up taking up close photos
with a shallow depth of field. I
like seeing the textures in things and capturing their beauty. One artist who I just recently
discovered is Sam Abell, a photographer for National Geographic magazine. His style is more documentary but his
photos hold so much more depth than that.
I like how each of his photos have layers of detail and can take such a
simple scene and making it intriguing which is what I aspire to do with my
work.
