Portrait: Honorable Mention 2021 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Life is about creating moments or being in the moment. My goal is to inspire those that view my photography and to show the beauty in everything and everyone. My subject matter ranges from the CEO all the way down to the intern. Everyone is just as important making the machine work. So why not promote and highlight everyone. I want my work to say it’s okay to be a custodian or stay at home mom or dad. There’s beauty in that and it is not showcased enough. Placing these pictures in black and white just adds an extra element of realness to the moment I am creating.
