Artist Statement

As someone who is a traveler, who is not capable of staying in one place, I am always on the move. There’s so many things to see and so many memories to make. I’m always taking pictures of my adventures to capture the moment but I wanted to learn how I can be better at doing that. I want others to understand the emotions I felt from my images.

During this spring semester, in ART105, I have learned a lot about photography that I’ve never heard of before. My only knowledge of a camera was to click one button and to zoom. From my photos, many can see that I’m still very much a beginner. From this class I learned the importance of lighting and how it can effect the object and the mood. I learned about photo editing tools and how to manipulate images to change the mood or to enhance certain elements. This class has taught me how to see the world from different perspectives. From my experience, photography isn’t an easy subject and it does take a lot of time and effort out of your day. However, those times are worth it to make a beautiful image. I especially learned this from creating my Daily Photo Diary and capturing even day of my life. From the skills I’ve developed in this class I will use on my next adventures to take even better photos.
