• Artist Statement

  This photo is of one of my best friends. I took my camera to a flea market we were going to, hoping I would be able to capture some unique and creative objects, booths, etc. In this particular picture, I wanted to guide the audiences' eyes to the subject, while also leaving lots of objects around her to look at. I used the clothing rack as a leading line, and made sure to keep the main focus on my subject father down. During the developing process, through lots of trial and error, I found the aperture and time setting that worked best for this photo; mainly focusing on making sure I had a range of color, from pure white to black.

• Creative Statement

  To me, creativity means using your imagination to expand and explore your mind. It means being unique, and not being afraid to try new things.
