As someone who has always been fond of art, especially natural art; photography has always been one of the things that come naturally. I grew up with a very artistic mother, she was always having crafts and other artistic activities, including her Sony DSLR that she took everywhere for a while, I always strived to reach a point where I could take photos as much as she did. In the past couple of years, I have taken up the hobby of photography, and have had some success. One of my favorite trips was my long trip to Sanibel Island, Florida, where their natural landscapes flourish due to the vast amounts of reservations all over the island. One big inspiration for wanting to take photography was the incentive to be able to expand my viewpoint on photography. My Photography has been submitted in multiple competitions including the Webster University Photography Exhibit. I am also in multiple places around my school’s campus. Next semester, I will be taking an independent study of photography, which I am super excited about!
