ANGEL TORRES
ARTIST STATEMENT
I like to take photos with a monochrome filter because using black-and-white helps me capture strong emotions. I find joy in taking photographs of nature, family, and daily events. I became interested in photography when I started taking pictures on my first iPhone in elementary school. I like being able to capture certain important memories or moments. I have since used the skills I learned to express my creativity and experiment with other forms of visual art.
