I wake up at 5:00 AM, groggily throwing on sweats and a hoodie, dashing out the door to beat the sunrise. I climb to the top of a nearby hill overlooking the city for the best view. As the sun emerges from the clouds and sunlight scatters over the city, light rays enter the 55mm convex lens and bend towards the focal point on the film. The rays hit light-sensitive silicon pixels on the film, producing an electric charge.

I lift my finger from the shutter release, stop squinting, and move my face away from the fogged up screen. I've taken my first picture with a DSLR camera. It felt as if a current ran through me when I took the picture: a catalyst for my passion. This was the beginning of thousands of pictures that allowed me to capture experiences, develop my thought process, and satisfy my curiosity.

There aren't countless pictures of me as a child because I wanted to be my own photographer, always running towards the camera when I caught a glimpse of it. This passion has grown throughout the years, and I've used it to learn not only about photography but also about chemical physics. It's an interest I unknowingly, but thankfully, nurtured: I found the art of science. I kept with my adventurous nature, exploring beauty all over the world, as I took pictures of everything from the Mona Lisa to Jungfrau and, simultaneously, applied concepts of light refraction, reflection, and visible light. While relaxing and capturing the beauty around me, I developed my capabilities, expanded my general knowledge, and pursued my academic
I have the desire to photograph. I go out with my camera. I come across something that excited me emotionally, spiritually, aesthetically. I see the photograph in my mind’s eye and I compose and expose the negative. I give you the print as the equivalent of what I saw and felt.
I’ve always wondered how a single image could show a beautiful lie or a horrific truth of any picture taken. No picture can be considered obvious. My mind is always thinking about the many different perspectives that one picture can bring. That’s why I enjoy taking photos that captures the many mysteries of life. I would love to live life as a photographer.
A major life altering shift occurred for me and I just like the settings on my camera I had to readjust and change my life perspectives while realigning my focus. I chose to capture the positives. I have grown wiser from these situations and have realized that I am tenacious and I have what it takes to adjust and maximize my talents and stretch my capabilities. I chose to be an asset to the world, rather than continuously looking back at my
A picture is more than just a piece of time captured within a light-sensitive emulsion, it is an experience one has whose story is told through an enchanting image. I photograph the world in the ways I see it. Every curious angle, vibrant color, and abnormal subject makes me think, and want to spark someone else’s thought process. The photographs in this work were not chosen by me, but by the reactions each image received when looked at. If a photo was merely glanced at or given a casual compliment, then I didn’t feel it was strong enough a work, but if one was to stop somebody, and be studied in curiosity, or question, then the picture was right to be chosen.
What led you into photography? Was it something you always been interested in or you stumble into it?
Traveling and seeing new cultures and capturing every moment of it. Photography has to do with creativity and the practice of taking and processing photos. I chose photography because it matched my personality and all of the things I wanted in a career. Photography is the best career choice based on the work environment, education and training, important qualities needed, salary, and job outlook.
Every person faces their own personal struggles but what if someone could make a difference in their battles? I have chosen to enter the medical field to have a positive impact on peoples’ lives. One act of kindness can provide comfort, safety, and even new hope. From personal experience I cannot convey the extraordinary impact that a single caring individual can have on someone facing life’s challenges. I was diagnosed with epilepsy 12 years ago at age 14.
My passion for the fascinating wolrd of science literally can not be put into words. Since receiving my first home science kit at five years of age the way things work and why has always been at the forefront of my mind. During my early years I would find great delight in examining anything I could fit under the lens of my telescope. I will never forget my first look at the intricate detail of a human hair.
Ink embedded in my fingertips is now part of my identity, and I can never keep my fingernails clean everything I touch has the mark of an artist. Charcoal stains in white tees, dry paint chipping off my over coat, thoughts scribbled on the face of my palms, and graphite smeared across my brow; these things have molded me into the young artist I am today. I have fallen in love with At first, I was resentful towards assignments that I felt were limiting my abilities. I didn’t want to understand why I was taking sculpture and photography classes when all I believed I could be inspired by was drawing. I was guarded by the pencil and the page.
There are many components and variables that go into making a great vs. a not so great photo. These elements include light, exposure, composition, angle of view, and stopping action.
To begin with, photography appeared to me as something entertaining a simple step in which one took a camera and simply shot a photograph of oneself or a friend. When I was handed my schedule for Mrs. Jones’s class, I felt as if this class had in store a special reward for me. As the days went by, Instead of being anxious of getting out of class I had a craving for additional time in the class. The class kept my eyes glued to the screen ...
In five years, I will have achieved in getting my Bachelor of Arts degree in photography, along with technical training degree. With a strong work ethic and commitment I know I can achieve this goal. My biggest goal in life is to become a well-known photographer in the National Geographic Magazine, my open-minded attitude and my integrity will help me succeed in obtaining this goal. My educational career vision is to graduate high school and be on the way to getting into my photography career.
During my whole life and experience I have been interested in the Art, Creativity, and I have been traveling around Graphics Designing. When I go out to centres, supermarkets, the high streets around Kingston anywhere in London, Germany and other parts of Europe which I have seen. I have seen lots of Graphics designs in advertising, Billboards companies for example in electronical products or any type of product the graphics advertising companies running around the world, just because of that I was inspired in the graphics designing and I was influence by the subject.
Without a doubt, being a highly respected photographer would be my dream career. The type of job that wouldn 't feel like a job because it is one of my favorite hobbies. Growing up I always noticed how much longer I took to take a picture of someone than when they did the same for me. I soon realized that I actually had a passion for getting the right shot that I understood that not every pictures the same and that certain angles made others look better in places. The praise I received for taking a lot of these pictures motivated me. I liked that I hardly ever got told to take these pictures over and I loved that I was always the one chosen to take them time after time. Once I understood that I had this passion for photography I made sure a camera was the first thing on my Christmas list that year. I also knew that there was nothing but room for improvement, so i sought out private lessons which I worked and saved up for.
When I think of becoming a teacher I would like to imagine or hope that I would be “turning the key” for a student of mine to become something great. I have been soul searching for many years now to have a better understanding of what I am suppose to do in my life. I have worked in so many jobs in so many areas but nothing was fulfilling my life with any amount of meaning. I found myself not wanting to go back the next day or wishing I were somewhere else. Well I guess everyone does that is what I would tell myself.
