Photography allows me to capture important moments in life and to create images that viewers will remember. When I began taking pictures, I did not know the proper rules or techniques for achieving the perfect picture. The vision just came to me with every shot.
Light and color are the main factors in most of my photography. Light can bring forth the important aspects in the image. I try to use natural light as much as possible to create shadows or highlight the subject. Light is a great source for black-and-white photography as well. It can make an image more powerful. Color can also enhance a photograph. I am always aware of my surroundings and how color can bring the subject to life.
My favorite subject to photograph is my younger sister, Jordan. She is always ready to be photographed in any situation. Shooting portraits is an important skill. I capture emotion in all these photographs.
Photography is my way of saving memories in my life. Cameras help us capture moments; it is our job to use them to create history.
