My concentration is focused around nature the first reason is that it is such a huge part of life in California. Growing up here the great importance of appreciating the beauty I am privileged to be surrounded by was greatly impressed upon me. Through my photography I want to share the beauty I see in nature. The second reason nature is my focus is because I want to be able to look back and see the wonderful places I have been able to see. Mark Hamblin is a wonderful inspiration with his unique perspective shown in his photography. Hamblin is outstanding at showing nature untouched, as I strive to do. When setting up a shot I try find the best way to take an individual shot and then keep the image in the most natural form with minimal editing. I believe that any image can be made appealing with with an immense amount of editing. True beauty and skill comes into play when a photographer can set up and capture an image of true unblemished nature and portray it in its unedited form. To do so I find an appealing landscape and capture that as a photo. I try to get the photo lighting right before i shoot the picture so that i do not have to go back and edit it later. To get a great shot I always try to apply the rule of thirds to my images. In most of my landscape images I like to have the landscape take up more space than the sky. In many cases getting a great shot is just a matter of being in the right place at the right time to get the right shot, for this to happen I try to take my camera with me as much as possible so that when I see something that would make a great piece I am able to capture the image. having the ability to share my photography is a wonderful opportunity and allows me to share my perspective with others. Most of this can be seen in my photo THE BAY it shows my Rule of thirds and the way that i set up my shots.
