Artist Statement

I started to take photo freshmen year because I just liked to take pictures and wanted to improve my picture taking skills. Since then, I learned a few things about myself. I learned that I really enjoy using double exposure and macro. The final project made me realize that I also like to take black and white pictures. Eventually, I would like to persue a career in journalism and in photojournalism.

I make my decisions while working based on how the picture looks. If I don’t like how something is turning out, I figure out a way to fix it whether that means taking a new picture or using different photoshop tools. Before I take a picture, I always have an idea of what I want the picture to look like and how I would photoshop it. Most of the time, these ideas come from pictures I’ve seen before and liked how they made it.

I want to start incorporating more photoshop tools in my pictures. Sometimes, I feel like some of my pictures are lame and need something to add some pazazz. I am also really looking forward to Photo 3 next year and using bokah.
