Photography
in Life #2
Photography constantly changes. It’s changing right now while
I’m typing this paper and while you’re reading my work. “Today the medium of
photography is often described as ‘protean’ in nature” means photos change
frequently.
Everyone in my digital photography
class has different ideas on what they want to do and create. When we research
artists we branch off their ideas and come up with our own trying to either
recreate them or do something different. I personally chose Jean
Michel Basquiat’s paintings for one of my
projects because the way how he created his work was very interesting to me. It’s
unexplainable but the way how he created his paintings didn’t just show a drawing
or something that can be recreated. He had a struggle in life with drugs and
always had a passion for drawing.
Recently photo apps such as
instagram and cineagram have taken over the photography world making everyone
possible photographers for a new age. People are buying iPhones because of how
simple they work and how easy they are to use. A simple photo can give you a
great amount of likes when you use hashtags.
Photography allows us freeze information and
document what we have done. It allows us to go beyond borders looking into
space, looking at the human body, and exploring the oceans floor. Photography
influences us to desire more work and what we cannot see. It changes who we are
as a person and how we represent ourselves. I am a photographer and photography
is me.
