I am passionate about the importance of capturing a timeless moment because it allows me to create a masterpiece that can be appreciated for eternity!
It's often been said, "a picture is worth a thousand words."
I couldn't agree more, photography transcends words because it sends a strong message that words cannot. Behind every photograph is a person who sees beauty in the unthinkable. From the expansive galaxies to the simple, but intricate snowflakes, a photographer captures and reveals the fleeting moment of creation that makes living this life so beautiful. Photography is an underestimated tool that can reveal the glory in a physically insignificant or an immensely important piece of creation; furthermore, a photographer has the opportunity to help society or an individual see the importance of looking through different perspectives. Photography has not only had a priceless role throughout history, but also will continue to have a monumental effect on the future.
Berenice Abbott once said, “Photography can only represent the present. Once it is photographed, the subject becomes part of the past.” The use of photography in society has continued to be a growing need. A well-presented portrait can inspire people all around the world. Photography has had an impact on history, will have a monumental role in the future and has the potential to change and impact the present day society. Ansel Adams once said, “You don’t take a photograph, you make it.”
Throughout my 19 years of life, photography has grown from a simple fascination to the passion I pursue today. By capturing the treasured moments of one's life and preserving them in the simple but timeless frame of art, I aspire to be a blessing to those around me through the use of God's talents he's so graciously blessed me with.
