Artist Statement
Photography and emotion are interlaced. You cannot have a good photo that has no emotion behind. If there is no emotion it can’t be thought provoking for others. If there’s no emotion it’s just a picture. I try to put as much emotion as possible into my photos so viewers will have a lot to think about.Street photography is a public photo with a great composition taken where other people might go. I tried to think about a photo before I took it. To see what kind of photo it would turn out to be. Will it have a great composition and how will I be able to edit it so it turns into an amazing photo?
I really wanted my photography to be colorful with good contrast when I was done editing them and I believe I did that. I like that the color in my photography is very bright and very different from the other colors within the photo. I had very limited tools at my disposal when I was editing my photos. I had just the paint bucket and adjusting the color tones and brightness.
One photographer I really admire is Richard Avedon. He is a great fashion photographer. I cannot even compare my work with his. He puts forth so much emotion in his photography it’s incredible. I wish I could capture photos like he can.
I believe the emotion I put into every photo I work with comes out onto the page and that makes me joyous.
