• Artist Statement

  In photography class we had a project where we needed to take portraits and at school the next day in math class the lighting was good because of the classrooms big windows. Also the sun does not shine into the classroom so there is no glare. After I took the photo I rolled and developed the film. Afterwards I made a contact sheet which is where you can see all your photos and chose which photos you want to enlarge. I decided to enlarge this photo in the darkroom because it looked good and I wanted to give it as a gift to my friend.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity means coming up with and taking photos of things that inspire you or tell a story that you want to share. It also means making the photo be what you want it to be and not necessarily what other people want it to be.
