I think the reason I have stuck with photography since I began is because it is an artistic medium that has a technological side that requires a knowledge of functionality, along with a creative side that requires the use of multiple senses and simply going out and taking pictures. Experimenting and exploring new methods, techniques, genres, styles, and equipment keeps me so heavily engaged in photography. I consider my work and who I am as an artist encompasses a wide range of styles, techniques, and genres. Photographing many different kinds of things helps me grow because I have to not only think critically about what are effective ways of making interesting images in a variety of settings and circumstances. I think I do naturally gravitate towards landscapes and travel photography because I love nature and traveling and simply capturing what is around can sometimes be the most rewarding. The five images I have chosen I think represent the variety photography has to offer and how I try to apply my skills in multiple ways. The Artist I have chosen is one who I have recently been following his work a lot. Van Styles is a photographer who I think somewhat encapsulates the kind of photographer I am continuing to work towards. He is a contemporary photographer who does model, landscape, and street photography. I am drawn towards his work because he creates captivating work by using his creativity and the places and people around him. Simplicity, symmetry, and ingenuity are a few words I would use to describe his photography. I also like him as an artist because he uses photography as an art medium as well as in a commercial sense. I strive to produce great art and utilize it in multiple settings.
