Traditional-Photo

Who am I? I am a mature photographer. Finding myself in taking picture and finding my strong spots is where I am in my hobby. That’s what photography is to me now. I’m not sure exactly where I’m going with it: if I want to pursue it as a career or keep it as a hobby. When I was old enough to actually hold my mother’s camera and take pictures with it, they weren’t half bad. I was told by many how beautiful, what I thought were my “ordinary” pictures. I learned photography isn’t all about the picture quality, lighting blur, exposure, etc.; but rather about the idea/creativity of your work. This is something that helped me grow to become the much better photographer I am today.

My philosophy. As a new photographer I don’t know exactly how I want to focus on taking pictures. Right now I’m kind of like a baby beginning to walk. I know little about me, but I’m not quite sure how this “photography thing” works. I know that I love nature pictures. The reason I’m so drawn to them is they hold a beauty that I want to see frozen in time. I can’t go all around the world and look at every single one of these locations, so being able to hold that moment someone captures gives me a pleasure of joy. I also like to take pictures of real things. Photographs of old couple, that are happily married is real! This has truth to it and happens. I think all photographs should hold truth to them; a truth that will define that picture as unique and inspiring.

Macro/Minutiae- I loved the project, because it was more of our choice on how to do this, as long as we showed the example of lighting we talked about. It gave us more of a variety of things to take pictures at.

Lighting/Still Life- this one was more personal, which I liked because I want the audience of my pictures to know a little about me, and with my final photo they learned cross country is a big part of my like that I take serious.

Self Portraits- This was a project that I didn’t love, and didn’t hate. I sometimes like taking pictures of myself, when I look okay. This was one that I had to really think about for the idea. I didn’t know what I wanted to show to the audience about me. I think my ideas all were good, but there is so much to me that it was hard to pick. This wasn’t the hardest project for me, but wasn’t the easiest. I like the idea of taking a picture of who we are and our alter-ego. I think it’s a chance for us to be creative and maybe show off something or someone we wish we were.
