Week 1 EOC-About me



Photography, it’s what I love and it’s what I’m dedicating my life too. I've loved photography since I was a child, and it’s something that’s stuck with me. In a way, photography is like my wings; it lets me be free and lets me be me without judgment. Looking through the lens of a camera is more than just capturing the moment in time, its letting people see the emotion behind it, it’s simply a puzzle.. I want to learn the way people use their lights to make a simple emotion seem like the most disastrous thing, I want to go into the detail of making a photo the most glamorous thing you’ve ever laid eyes upon. Traveling is also a reason why I made photography my major; I’ve always loved the simplicity of it. Just getting on a plane with your camera and your mind and exploring the world, seeing things that people would only dream of one day seeing. I was raised to believe that everything has a beautiful side, no matter how terribly abused it has been, if you look deep enough you can find it. That’s what I want to do, I want to find the beauty in things, make people realize that everything is beautiful in their own way. If I can’t do that then ill build the beauty, I’ll make my own picture, show everyone what I think true beauty really is. Of course we all have different views on beauty; I just chose to share mine. The feeling photography gives me is so unexplainable, but all in all it’s pure happiness. Happiness that I believe everyone should experience.
