I am a photographer who aims to inspire others, and convey emotions through my photography. I use it as a way to capture emotion in time.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite art to create is portrait photography. I love people and I love interacting with people. Being able to implement that into my art, brings me great joy. One of my favorite things to capture is great emotions. Seeing the deep intimate feelings, people feel throughout their lives is so special. Freezing and capturing raw emotions is one of the most special things on this planet.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from human emotions. The way people feel so deeply is fascinating to me. I have a deep care and compassion for people. Being able to bring joy to people through my photography inspires me so much. I am driven by my goal to care for people and love people as much as possible. I am inspired by people's drive and the human spirit. I love people, and the emotions they feel. That's what inspires me
What would you do with $25,000?I am very passionate about people. Growing up I saw people being taken advantage of, a lot of hurt, violence, animosity, and unfortunately that was common. I want to be able to bring about change. I would take the $25,000 and use it to start a ministry. I would create a space that was inviting. A place where people could come and feel loved, cared for, seen, valued, and more. If you want to see change in the world, you have to fight for said change. I will always fight to change people's lives.
