"Artist Statement"

I have decided that at this point in my artistic career, I have no personal statements yet to make as an artist. I do recognize my influences and inspirations as an artist define the style of photography I create and prefer to enjoy. Personally I strive to photograph subjects that might seem ignored or overlooked on a daily basis, mostly focusing on found objects or scenes that are un-manipulated or posed for my compositions. I tend to alter subjects only if necessary, but prefer to leave them as they existed before I discovered them. My artwork offers my viewers a substantial amount of depth; with black and white photography I tend to present a broad range of gray scale with high contrast, and in color digital photography I usually generate very manipulated photographs with tonal overlays. In all of my work I am generally attracted to my subject by it’s appealing textures or the way sunlight/artificial light is cast. To reiterate, I have not yet limited myself to a particular focus in photography, since I’m still studying it’s practice I expect my personal agenda with photography will develop into a much stronger statement in my future.
