Artist Statement

 

Art doesn’t have borders it just has different identities.

 

I started photography in college in 2004 and I discovered that it is the world I was looking for. It gave me an outlet to articulate my inner thoughts. In every work there is failure and success and we all look for successes especially in the field that gives us access to the world.

 

As a photographer my favorite tool is my camera, without it I would not be able to do what I am doing today. I can say that it is my friend; it is with me everywhere I go. I enjoy every moment of photography, the hard times, the good times and the most successful times.

 

I photograph a subject that expresses my idea but I manipulate the images further through the computer with my main tool Adobe Photoshop. This is my favorite part because I feel comfortable that I have finished with the shoot and can concentrate on the image and how to make it the best I possibly can. When I am satisfied with what I have created I have my own personal online gallery where I upload my imagery. I am filled with joy to know the responses of photographers and artists to my creations, and this helps me grow as a photographer. Working with galleries taught me a lot especially in improving the work I produce. I am hoping to be successful and get the positive response from an audience that I feel my work deserves. However, the best way I can describe my creative process is working without borders, unlimited by my imagination .
