Daydreaming on Fairmount Ave

Photography is one of the many ways I enjoy expressing my artistic talent. I feel like my artwork is a reflection of my personal state of mind, burrowing my style into a personal moment of my life. For each photo I take I try to brainstorm a general idea of what I want the finished product to look like, and run with it as I go. For this specific photo, I wanted to achieve a skateboard magazine aesthetic by using a fisheye lens and adding grain/color grading to invoke a vintage camcorder vibe. When shooting the photos, my friend (the subject in the photo) and I came up with the idea for him to ollie over the couch. After we attempted a few trials, we decided to add a clone of him watching the jump from sitting on the couch to add a little bit of spice to the image. All in all, I love to create as I work because it makes the process feel more authentic. I want to truly understand the subject’s feelings and ideas so I can improve and reach my highest potential.

Expressing your true self in any form -- art, problem solving, cooking or any activity can involve creativity. It's about how you incorporate those original ideas into whatever you're working on.
