I have been doing photography for about 4 years. I took a
photography class during my senior year of high school. It was eye
opening. The course was about shooting film, digital and darkroom techniques.
My teacher always told me that I had an amazing eye and suggested that I should
never stop shooting. I started sharing all my photos on Facebook and Flickr.
Before I knew it everybody started to recognize me as a photographer. I never
stopped shooting, even with my small digital camera.
I
take all kinds of pictures from fashion, live music and lifestyle.
Words
I would use to classify my photographic style are real and lifestyle.
I
like to take photographs of anything that I can reinterpret its beauty or
moment through my own vision. My lens becomes the looking glass so that others
can see into my world the way I see it. I tend to take shots of everyday
people. Capturing the emotions and facial expressions of people is very
remarkable.
I
use a Nikon d3000 with a 50mm 1.8. Nikon is my first true love so I’m going to
stay faithful with it. Maybe one day I'll shoot with a Canon.
I admire a lot of photographers: James Barnor for his amazing portraits
of Ghanaian people back in the 60's and 70's, Vivian Maier for her street
photography and self portraits and Jack Robinson for his unique studio
portraits of famous personalities.
