Artists statement

         What I like to express in my pictures I guess a feeling of depth, like there's more to some events than there are and what one usually sees. There is always something going on behind the scenes, even if you never see it it's there. There are some nature or emotional driven events that happen every day in our lives and a lot of us and take us seem to take for granted. It could be something relatively simple, could be something really complex but whatever the reason something is driven by something else. Passionand, excitement, happiness, sadness, loss all these emotions drive some offender lives and that is what I wish to capture in my photography. The feeling that I captured this brief amount of emotion this secrecy like my documentary piece my mother and my hair looking over the jewelry and remembering their teenage years their childhoods that the motion was really amazing for me.

I changed the color balance taking out some of the warmth. Then I shaped the contrast of the photo. And reaped some of the backgound.

What about the series, I like that she's reused using the reflection and color of the objects to portray new images. I like that the objects reflect what's around them they distort and discolor the scene around them with their own shape and reflection.

The lighting in this photograph is natural outdoor light with a slight overcast sky that's softening the lights from the sun. The main focus, herself along with her cat, are surrounded by nature.  The surrounding trees and bushes as well but all color really help to frame and define her personality. In her pose seems content but seems to be wondering, maybe a little mischievous while holding her cat. The most important part of the photo is that she has her cat with her. It shows that her cat is an important part life.

For the gloomy one I darken up the skies abet the brain of the trailer little bit more. I believe she instogram technique I used was instant print. The only thing I use on my gritty piece was cold press, or cold color.
