My Art Statement/Rebeca.

Art is what keeps people going.Its what keeps ME going. I love art. All kinds of art. I paint, draw, film-make, sing, dance, take photos, write, sculpture and create. I love having an aesthetic life. My photography style is a little bit of everything. I like capturing the beauty of simple things yet showing how they really are sometimes. I also like all kinds of photography for example: Black and white photos because it’s the most realistic and classic, Street photography because it demonstrates what’s going on in the real world, it shows that the world is not always so pretty. It also shows action and people doing their own thing. Self portrait photos are my favorite because depending on how you take the photo and how you decide to edit it, can demonstrate many sides of you that you never knew. it can show you things about you that are unique, things that make you who you are and it can show you that you are beautiful. I absolutely love street photography and for my photos I used a wide variety of things like the sponge tool, paint bucket, gradient tool,the eye dropper tool,blur tool, among many others. I also manipulated the image’s color by changing their saturation and hue and using the variation tool on imageadjustments .What I also liked was using the filters such as the artistic one,blur one and stylize filter. I love how in photography you can show the beauty of something, set a mood by the colors and capture something unique. Alfred Eisenstaedt is one of my favorite photographers because he manages to catch the essence of life through his pictures. He took pictures of everything not just pretty images, He took pictures of couples kissing, Marylin Monroe, a child and a mother in hopeless poverty and many more. I can compare to him because I like catching a snapshot of beauty but I also want to show everyone that the world is not always pretty things. That there are things that aren’t beautiful in fact some are hideous but we still need to acknowledge it.I want them to see that there is bad in this world and we need to fix it yet at the same time show them that the simple things are beautiful and that you can find something good in the bad and that all of the everyday things we take for granted like the trees,sky,sun and earth,shoes,kids are fantastic and gorgeous. Ultimately I want them to see through my eyes and unique photography. I hope one day I can accomplish these goals.
