Throughout my upbringing I have always been an observer, whether that be of the physical or a state of mind. This tendency only enhanced as I grew into a young woman. Being observant, along with my fondness for scenery and the present moment, resulted in my adoration of photography. Whether I was on my Nintendo or iPhone taking pictures of the sunset, I am always taken aback by the Earth and its people. I believe I excel in taking photos of scenery and people. The atmosphere of the Earth with its refreshing air always leaves me more comfortable. Hence why this is where most of my practice takes place. I have always found comfort in being a photographer and not the subject of the photo. Although my younger self would have been elated to be in the spotlight, I am content with representing the things I see. Photography allows me to capture the things I observe day to day. My intuition equipped me with an eye for detail and love for my environment. My recent inspirations have been influencers on social media who make life and their surroundings look pleasant and appealing to the eye, such as Fernanda Ramirez. Her photos capture basic but beautiful things the Earth has to bring, or a cup of coffee. I take inspiration from this theme of photography and also strive to portray multiple realities through authentic emotion. I am grateful to be granted the opportunity to make this a hobby and broaden my knowledge of my photographic style. I am excited to develop into a stronger photographer.All of The Lights, 2022Love Language, 2022
