  Title: The Silence that Follows the Action

  Medium: Digital

  I wanted to try something new, I turned off the lights and gave my brother a flashlight, and boom, nothing happened. But this is what I like about creativity, your ideas don't always work on the first try, and it tests your ability to adapt and change. A failed attempt the first time, I turned up my shutter speed asked my brother to swirl the light a couple of times while ollying his tech deck, one of his favorite things to do, and we continued to get progress. This photo highlights the shape of light and shows movement in a still photo. Because he is doing an action I love how the light compliments this to make viewers' eyes look in more than one place.

  Expressing my creativity makes me more open to risk-taking and allows me to see that mistakes are what helps us grow and learn. Photography changes my perspective about how I view things in world around me and requires me to see details that I would not see normally.
