• Artist Statement

  My sister was about to leave for homecoming when I took this picture. The sun was setting which had this really nice soft lighting which made this picture more magical than I was expecting. This was my first portraiture assignment and a day earlier I had gone to the fair to practice my portrait compositions. This was one of the first photos where I really started to move the head in the upper third of the image and it executed really well.

• Creative Statement

  To me, creativity means seeing and exploring the world in a way others and yourself may have not previously noticed. I love getting to share bits about myself though my artwork and creativity helps me pursue that.
