My grandfather was a film photographer & I never got to meet him, he passed away before I was born..It’s simply more than a passion for me.
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 type of art to create is film photography but I tend to be creative in everyday life with anything I do.. It’s really just a way of living to be honest which adds to the art.
Where do you find inspiration?Something about photography and not being able to receive immediate feedback or see the result challenges me. There’s been several times where I’ve captured a photo and didn’t do a good enough job to achieve the level of quality that I want in a photo. That’s what drives me crazy, but it honestly motivates me to start a new roll. A big life lesson for me to just keep trying.
What would you do with $25,000?Help my mom get some new wheels probably.. Also buy a bunch of film & potentially some new camera gear.. I’m well overdue on that..
