Mikai Kellebrew

Age: 17 Democracy Prep Harlem High SchoolMy motivation to enter into photography is the aspect of how many ways one can capture and portray work. I enjoy the process of taking pictures that make a statement. Pictures are valuable because they capture a moment in life that I can come back to as a visual memory that is either personal or special to people whom I surround myself with. I’ve always been open to trying new things and I’m glad I took an opportunity to learn about photography. It allows me to express myself through art and to see things from a different perspective. It also allows me to think more broadly and improve my past work. When using my camera, I have no main objective. I mainly take whatever my mind tells me to. I’m able to use angles, lighting, and contrast skills that I’ve learned to also get the photo to turn out completely different, inspiring me to capture more photos.
