Artist Statement

Creative equals art. Without creativity, there is no art. It can come from your mom, your aunt, your friends, and yourself that can help you make your piece of work turn into a masterpiece. About anything can be an art but I think creativity comes from your mind which no one can steal from you.
In my pictures, I try to be creative to make my pictures to look nice and artistic. By doing that, I used a software called adobe photoshop to help with my pictures. Using good contrast and the gradient tool makes a picture come at you. I try to make a good composition for my pictures and I believed I did that. Using a little bit of paint bucket and the gradient tool, I think that my pictures turned out great.
One photographer I really admire is Weegee because he likes to take pictures of what’s really happening in reality instead of photographers who take pictures of nature-like things. He takes pictures of what’s around him and pictures of crime issues happening. It would be pretty awesome if I get to take pictures of crime and stuff but I couldn’t do that since I’m not a reporter so I try to take pictures around me that’s looks very interesting and creative.
One thing I know is that creativity comes from the mind and it is the one thing no one can ever copy in your pictures that makes it look like art.
