I am drawn to colour and themes of colour. I am also drawn to human emotion and concepts, so most of my photos try and encompass these. Generally, I enjoy taking pictures of both people and solitary objects, but generally I have to have some sort of theme within it. I don't like the look of HD cameras (especially when it comes to movies), preferring the fuzzy lines and colours of film. I am influenced by emotion, or the lack thereof. One of the most memorable images to me is Steve McCurry's famous portrait of an Afghani girl, whose piercing blue eyes stand out against the deep reds of her skin and dress. Although I am almost certain that I know my outdated cameras through and through, I am hoping that I will be able to expand on my knowledge. Additionally, I am hoping to learn more about Photoshop and how to use it, as I know virtually nothing about digital editing. Even though I used to believe editing photos was cheating somehow, every other photographer seems to have embraced digital editing and it is hard to compete now if you don't have any knowledge of editing programs.
