My photography has a really simplistic side to it. I like to take pictures of things that people would walk by everyday and not notice the interesting part of it or the beauty of that thing. There are so many things that people don’t appreciate and take for granted. I like to take pictures that capture the simple beauty of an object that people might not think is interesting looking. I like to use depth of field and leading lines a lot in my pictures but I also like a good crisp strait picture that’s simple.

When I take pictures I look for things that are simple but have character to them, take a brick wall for example. Most people walk by them without even thinking of the texture and color of it, they just walk on by. I would try to take a picture that adds character to that brick wall and will make people look at it every time they walk by so that they can see the beauty of it too.

I think that going out and trying to take a picture of just a certain thing will mess up what you’re trying to do because you miss a lot of other things. Does that make sense? What I mean is that if you go out looking for just one type of thing to take a picture of, you miss out on all the other interesting things there are.

I think that the process you go through to take a picture affects how your pictures look tremendously. When I go out to take a picture I don’t go looking for just one thing in particular. My pictures have simple, elegant beauty to them in my opinion and I hope people feel the same way about my pictures when they look at them as I did when I took them.
