Why Photography?

Why Photography?

When I was first scrolling through possible classes to take my second semester, I got excited when I found introduction to Photography. I've never considered myself being a photographer, however, I think I have always had an eye for photography. Due to my success in ski racing, I have had the opportunity to travel and ski in some of the most beautiful places in the world. Whether that would be skiing on volcanic ash in chile, or going to New Zeland during my summers. I've had a unique opportunity to capture the scenery that surrounded me. This sparked my passion for taking pictures, and that is exactly why I decided to take this class; to properly understand how to use my camera, and grow as a photographer. 

I have listed my goals for this class below. 

• To fully understand how to use the features in my camera

• I want to learn from professional photographers and their advice for taking good pictures. 

• I want to learn how to use lightroom and advance my skills with photoshop.

• I especially want to feel inspired to have my camera with me at all times to take pictures I wouldn't have been able to. 

• I also want to learn about the history of photography, because I don't know much. 

My expectation of you is to help me on my creative journey in photography! I hope to learn as much from you as I can while being open and adventurous to new assignments, and projects! :) 

These are my favorite photographs I have ever taken.
