"Vantage" - Digital Photograph
The first step to my artistic process is brainstorming, and then brainstorming some more. I first brainstorm up a list of locations that would supply me with the subjects that I am looking for, I then brainstorm the types of specific things I might find, and write down a physical and mental list of what I should look out for. Then, I go to the spot and start shooting whatever catches my eye. I try not to look at my shots too much at this time because I like to stay present in my environment, I prefer to just look over them in post. Next step is editing, what I do for this portion of the process is play around with lightroom settings until I find a direction that I like, then I pursue that direction of editing until I am happy with what I have in front of me.

Being a photographer has changed my life in many ways. Firstly, the way I look at the world around me; I look at everything with the question "how could one capture that?" and it helps me to notice the beauty in generally mundane subjects.
