Recommended: The importance of memory

Im from Seattle, Washington.
My family loved taking photos, they loved capturing memories. we have a ton of pictures in our house, a ton of when we were kids and growing up. We also have a lot of videos and home videos. Their love of capturing moments and capturing memories definitely influenced and made me love it too.

Where did you grow up?
I grew up with my family always taking photos, of everything, all the time. I think I started taking photography in art form my freshman year of college. My friend Nelson but I came back from a missions trip and he noticed that I had a good natural eye. So since then I just began to develop it and ever since then I love taking photos.
When did you first realize you were interested in photography? …show more content…

It could be from a poem I read or something I saw driving, or even somebody shoes. It could be from what someone says, I think inspiration could be found anywhere.
What is your favorite subject to shoot?
I love shooting people. I love shooting people out doing whatever. Not specifically portraits but street photography and travel.
When did you first pick up a camera?
The first camera I picked up was my freshman year, and it was actually a film camera. So I did not do digital for about 5 months or so, I always did film. As I read everywhere that learning on film helps you develop your eye because you only have 32 shots. You only have 32 chances to make whatever you are looking at to come to life. So I think film definitely helped me develop my eye.
Is there one thing you wish you would have known when you first started taking photographs?
I wish I known that one day someone is going to offer to pay you. And to probably figure out how much your art is worth. Also to know that not everyone is going to find what you find beautiful, beautiful. Some people are just not going to get it and thats okay.
When and why did you first get into photography?
Tell us about yourself. Where are you from/where are you now, what do you do, and how did you get to where you

  • Photography: Annotated Bibliography

    2461 Words  | 5 Pages

    Practiced by thousands who shared no common tradition or training from the earliest days of taking photos, the first photographers were disciplined and united by no academy or guild, who considered their medium variously as a trade, a science, an art, or an entertainment, and who often were unaware of each other’s work. Exactly as it sounds photography means photo-graphing. The word photography comes from two Greek words, photo, or “light”, and graphos, or drawing and from the start of photography; the history of the aforementioned has been debated. The idea of taking pictures started some thirty-one thousand years ago when strikingly sophisticated images of bears, rhinoceroses, bison, horses and many other types of creators were painted on the walls of caves found in southern France. Former director of photography at New Yorks museum of modern art says that “The progress of photography has been more like the history of farming, with a continual stream of small discoveries leading to bigger ones, and in turn triggering more experiments, inventions, and applications while the daily work goes along uninterrupted.” ˡ

    Inspiration The world has many photographers that anyone can look at. You can call me an amateur or say I don’t really understand the art, but when I look at most of the pictures available, and I have looked at thousands lately, I don’t see anything different in the style of photography. I just saw the pictures. I see pictures of beautiful subjects and pictures of ugly subjects. I never really thought about the difference between being the photographer instead of the subject, until I saw Elliott Erwitt.

    My mother once told me to take pictures during a family picnic. That was the day I discovered the art of photography. I found it fascinating how an image could be capable of sharing an entire story. What started out as a hobby, ended up becoming a life-long passion that has allowed me to develop into a more capable individual. When I saved up and bought my first camera, I read vast amounts of photography books and watched countless internet tutorials, in an attempt to teach myself how to become a good photographer. I would then use what I had learned and go outside, for hours at a time, and take pictures of the world around me. I even had the opportunity to practice commercial photography and graphic designing for various public events. These experiences have made a deep impact on my character. Growing up, I was reluctant to work with others, especially in school. Maybe because I was a natural introvert, I believed that in order for something to be done right, I had to complete it on my own and asking others for help was a sign of weakness. However, when complex situations arose during photo-shoots, I realized how lucky I was to be working and collaborating with talented individuals. By sharing the responsibility and by having confidence in my team, the quality of my work drastically improved, and in turn, I thrived in such an environment. It really was a surprise to me how photography has taught me the value of placing trust in others.

  • Final Reflection: My NEW Place In Photography

    1312 Words  | 3 Pages

    Prior to this course, I knew photography was a part of my every day life. After experiencing this course, I know I knew little about photography. Photography is definitely part of my life, but as I reflect on my sixteen-week progression, I realize that everyone can take a picture but “taking a photograph” as an art. My initial thoughts were that with smart phones we are all “photographers” sharing and it has become part of our visual culture, but not all photos deserve appreciation. Although I believed I had an eye for interesting things and liked to shoot pictures from angles or interesting features, I realized that knowing more about the functions and diversity a quality camera could provide was missing. Photography has been a vital part of my personal history and now will be a bigger part of my life as I am armed with knowledge and experience with angles, lighting, settings and Photoshop so the memories I capture will have a stronger purpose. Point and shoot has transitioned into a passion for finding interest in a subject and utilizing my knowledge to create artful photos. Ordinary or standard shots will be a part of my past. Reflecting on my interest in photography as a potential path for my future, or a part of an overall career choice, I realized that if I continue on a public relations or marketing path, photography will be a critical part of my career. Photography 181 has given me invaluable information that will be carried on into my future in both business and personal arenas. My place in photography will continue to include sports action photography as I am an athlete and appreciate these, as well as in editorial or brand image photography as part of my career.
