The slideshow below showcases the pictures that I've taken for the One in Sixteen Hundred assignment. Below the slideshow is my artist statement.
ARTIST STATEMENT: With this project, my intention was to show all of the important people in my life who have made me who I am today. The first four pictures are of my family and the final four are of my closest friends. As I took all of these pictures I had hoped to be able to capture pictures of them being in a state of happiness because they've all given me so much happiness in my life, so I wanted to see their happiness with these pictures. I didn't have a theme going into the project, but I hoped to capture candid shots of them as best as I could. I was inspired to take pictures of people instead of other subjects because I believe the people that I associate myself with make me stand out and make me special, as well as the fact that these people bring me unconditional support and inspiration every day.
