Who knows? My thoughts I guess


Photography is both Art and its Technical... Thats what i've heard and been told by many and i find it to be true.. So my thoughts so far on what photography is to me, and what I show in my photos.

Oh yeah not to sure if anyone knows but my Second Year Portfolio theme is Classy/Elegant with a story to it. Which is due at the end of March. I'm excited for my last semester!

So yah photography is both, it wouldn't be photography if it was not art or technical. I shoot in order to build up my style of photography and helps me build up my eye and how i see things and how i can work with light. My influences and inspirations come from basically anywhere... from movies to magazine ads. I try to log all my ideas and feeling in oder to present them in my photos as in photographer its a good way on expressing how I feel.

Logged by bullet points cause I really suck at writing.

  • to give a photo life, humor, sexuality, impact, a story, meaning, able to represent myself (past, present, future) {personal work}
  • at times you got to be able to separate personal and professional and be able to use both in oder to grow and mature your different sides and style of ones photography.
  • know what i'm looking for and why in my images, to understand what im showing
  • photos can be mysterious, odd, thought provoking
  • "a work of Art" makes you feel and makes you think "to disturb" you could say
  • i say that models lend themselves to artists
  • we capture a moment in life (taken for granted, rarely seen or ours eyes cant)
  • consider the visual weight in a photos and guidelines and all other rules and then forget them
  • most are intimate with the people they shoot or places, i do feel that as well
  • i believe you do capture the characteristics of people and what they are thinking and who they are but only to people that know them the best
  • the human face: can capture peoples essence's their nature and emotions.
  • in any chaotic world their is simplicity, (keep it simple when shooting or make it look simple)
  • im critical of my work, and doubt it... i see the beauty in everything and capture it as well as i can.
  • play around cause you never know

theirs more...never ending really.... but ill end it here for now thanks for reading if you did read this haha

And don't forget... DON'T STOP SHOOTING - DON'T STOP LEARNING
