Artist Statement
For the most part of my life I been very interested in music, however recently I've discovered the true beauty of photography. This school year I thought it was time for a change so I shifted gears and leaned toward art. However, not having had training in traditional art forms, I decided photography would be the best choice for me. I figured I could use my creativity from music and incorporate it into my photography. I'm not familiar with too many visual artists, but my long time influence or inspiration is Jimi Hendrix. Although he is no longer living his style of playing music always motivated me to try out different things. The way he played his music was so different and interesting because he rarely ever played one of his songs the same way twice. I used this technique inside and outside of music to make things I do in life more interesting.
I've been very satisfied with the work I've done in class this year. I have definitely noticed a major change in composition. In the beginning of the year most pictures were taken looking straight at the subject so it was very predictable. However, as the year went on and I saw more work from different photographers, I developed a different approach to my photography. I also discovered what kind of photography I'm most interested in. Landscape photography is what i enjoy looking at the most, and i find my best work is of landscapes. As I grow as a photographer I would like to get better at different styles of photography and do the best work that I can do.
