Through these images I look for ways for the ordinary things in my life to be taken into new perspectives. I explored many different approaches, but it was motion and reflection the ones that captivated me the most. I like the idea of movement, since everything around us is in constant change, I wanted something that represented those transitions. In my view, I seek the ordinary and make it memorable, which is why photography becomes so impactful for me. I took the environment around me and made it everlasting through the click of the camera.
(First) image includes the movement of hands, showing the change in position over a small portion of time. This technique is something really fun to experiment with, because the results are often unexpected. It truly has the effect of seeing something as simple as hands in a new abstract way, which makes little things more engaging for me.
The (Second) image is simply my cat. He is the most entitled muse ever, but my go-to subject when experimenting photography. His eyes are often something I want to focus on, especially in the reflection of what he sees and what he finds entertaining. His mind is always a mystery to me, and I felt that capturing his eyes would give me a little clue of his weird mind.
My first love for photography awakened when I was a young teen, when taking pictures of me wasn’t a choice because I found no excitement in looking at my imperfections. But where I felt most beautiful and myself were baby pictures. I did not only appreciate the beauty, but also those memories that were stolen from my young mind that felt so mine. Since then, I insisted on taking pictures for my friends where they would feel like I once felt, and continued capturing moments in case those moments were stolen again.
This picture was a surprise when I looked back through this session. It wrapped me instantly with the vivid colors, and the motion gave certain uncertainty that interested me on the subject. From first sight it felt like a painting, every brush so carefully thought of and every color perfectly combined, which is why, this being purely random, it becomes more unique to me.
