Artist Statement

Overviews of what you’ll find in the portfolio are social issue, scary effects, photographic effects, portraits, contact sheet, and 8 compositional tricks. I feel my portfolio started off as a disaster and till now I am currently getting better. The things that I’ve learned over the course of first semester with Photoshop are how to blend pictures together and how to make my own paintbrush out of a picture. I’ve also learned how to take fantastic pictures and turning an everyday seen thing and making it unnoticeable and to one really think about it. I feel I’m most successful with the effects on Photoshop because I put myself into all my work. The things that I’ve learned over the course of first semester in Photoshop are unforgettable and unimaginable. The things that I’ve learned have helped me see photography in a whole new shape of manner that I’ve never would have thought of seeing it in this form of style, this feeling is beyond words.
