This piece was taken on Medium Format B&W film, on a Yashica Mat 124G with Ilford Delta 400. It was taken this summer, in the South of France, where my grandparents live. Recently, my Aunt had a kid Named Nil. This print is of my mother, and my cousin at the swing set in my grandparents’ back yard. During the summer, I am able to freely take pictures because I have so much more free time. This summer, my family and I discovered that Nil loves the swing set, it’s all she wanted to do this summer. I took this as an opportunity to make art, to connect my family with my art. When taking the picture, I placed the subjects in a natural frame of leaves and shadow to enhance composition. Shots like this remind me that photography is such an amazing tool for capturing beautiful moments like this.

Creativity in my mind is very vague. But recently, with the help of my mentors in my program, I have realized that creativity is the expression of one’s passion. More specifically, it’s a gateway for someone to show their emotion or experience to the world.
