Just Me

My photography reflects my personality and what I believe in, to an extent. I'm a person who really enjoys nature, however I like to pick out the more minor details in nature that people don’t really notice. Ever since I was younger I have always liked taking pictures of people, but I really enjoyed taking pictures outside in nature. Along with taking pictures of nature, I really like taking pictures of people because I believe one picture, especially of a person, could mean many different things to many different people. I am also very intrigued by people and how they act. Usually when I take photos, I don’t go outside saying, Ok I am going to take pictures of this, this, and this, I usually just go out with my camera and take pictures of wherever my eye leads me first, then continue from there. I feel like the way I take photos is pretty good, because if you just go out planning to take pictures of one thing, you could pass up hundreds of better shots of different things. However I sometimes find myself getting distracted and have to put myself back on track.

 

When we were told to take a self portrait picture, at first i was very unsure of how i could sum up my whole personality in just one picture. Im someone who is very into fashion, however i love to lounge around in yoga pants and a tee shirt. Not to mention, unless im going to school, i cant leave my house without makeup. I feel like this picture does a good job summing up me, because i was in one of my chill modes with my outfit, however my hair and makeup still had to be perfect.
