Taking raw, unprocessed looking or analog pictures. I like to illustrate and do posters or graphics. I'm currently exploring collages compositions and tattooing. I like my art to have an escence and a "vibe" behind it. It can be fun and funny but can be also dark, political, protest.
Where do you find inspiration?This one is hard to answer. I sometimes don't understand fully why something catch my eye and make me want to photograph it. Situations or things you find of the streets, graffiti because what is writte on the walls is not on paper. Nature and Landscapes and sidewalk altars or discarted objects that just look like art, unhouse people, streets, city life, night life, people. Is political, is real, is raw.
What would you do with $25,000?I would get a analog camera because mine broke. I would go to school and get a vehicle so I can keep taking pictures in different locations and find scenic views. Right now I am unhouse and on disability and having that money would help a lot with recovery and to create more art.
