I love to capture a moment in time which has the possibility to make someone feel an emotion they didn’t think possible of a certain subject

I like to create photographic stills that portray emotion through wardrobe, scenary, or color. Whether we play with whatever nature gives us or dress in bright colors to showcase texture and volume, I love being able to make my subject evoke emotion. In my life I have seen darkness struggling through depression and being able to use photography as an outlet to bring beauty to things otherwise seen as dull is an amazing feeling.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration through my family, my friends, and other creatives through social media platforms. It is amazing to see how the mind dissects the world it sees and transforms it into something still. Regardless of manipulation or editing, seeing how creative someone can push themselves to be ignites a fire in me to push myself to become better as well and think of ideas unorthodox that can bring more eyes to my art.
What would you do with $25,000?I will use the money to get rid of my mother’s debt. She has spent the entirety of her life making sure my life has been safe and plentiful, I want to be able to cease her financial hardships so she can relax and have that weight off of her shoulders. If i’m able to do so because this competition believes my art is worthy enough of it, then that in itself is a feeling I’d like to experience.
