My Artist Statement

I like photography because I can find different angles of objects and making it look nice by editing them. I like seeing my photos after editing them because I get to see how I did with it. The theme in my photography is to picture what the image will look like in my mind. That's how I decide if I'm gonna take that picture or not. I also find angles that would enhance the picture to make it look appealing. My techniques in my artwork are to adjust the levels and brightness and contrasts. I also use the rule of thirds for most of my pictures which I like using because the picture looks better that way.


I took the pieces I submitted to the Art show by using the angles and color of the pictures. It is good to me because it looks pleasant and the color attracts your attention. The purpose of both the pictures is to focus on the flowers and make them stand out from its surroundings. Thank you for viewing my photos.

College and Career Research 2

I chose a still life photographer for my next pick because I like taking pictures of non-moving objects and making it look good. The college I chose for this career is the Art Institute of Chicago because Chicago is a nice place and in America.The college has many student services such as Academic Advising which helps students pick the right classes, health services that focus on your well being, professional security staff that provide everyone a safe and pleasant campus and more. They also help you find work while in school, internships, prepare for resumes and portfolios, develop a career strategy, etc. The program is four years. I learned that emotional issues affect your academic performance. http://www.saic.edu/

College and Career Research 1

An art career I picked was portrait photographer because I like taking pictures. I picked the Art Institute of Seattle because it is close to where I live and the college helps you get your first job after graduation. They also help with job researching, writing a resume, interviewing, portfolio presentation and networking. However, the Art Institute doesn't guarantee employment. The school offers many scholarships depending one what field of career you want. The program takes as little as twenty five months to complete. An interesting fact I found from this college website is that the program costs about $38787.00 including tuition. http://www.artinstitutes.edu/seattle/media-arts/digital-image-management-d-316512.aspx
