Artist statement
In my body of
photos I decided to choose portraits, in specific portraits of young women. All
of my photographs are in color. I choose this concept because I love taking
portraits of other people. I chose to photograph young women in specifically
because I thought it would be the easiest to follow through with. I thought
there would be no problems with scheduling or the types of photos I wanted to
take. However, I was wrong. Having to work with models is hard because you
always have to make sure you can be on their time. Also if the shoot does not
work you will have to go out and reschedule and re-shoot if they are available.
One photographer
that really inspired my work was James Hickey. James Hickey is a professional photographer
in Los Angeles he creates artistic fashion images with vivid colors. I came
across this photographer when thinking of ideas for my final. Although, I love
his way he works I wanted to incorporate his idea with my vision in mind.
I would like
people to look at these photographs and not only see a photograph but see the
beauty in the models eyes. Originally I thought of photographing the models with
extravagant clothing, but I felt like that would take away from the model
herself. I would rather shoot someone in their regular, natural environment.
