Artist Statement:

This week in photography each of us created our third draft for this new project. I am focusing on and learning about Byron Jorjorian who is famous for his work in floral and botanical photography. Our goal was to replicate the authors work by using our environment. There were a variety of necessities that needed to be included in this project to create his recipe. First I needed to take pictures of a variety of flowers. Then I needed to use the right camera with the correct lens to take a photograph of the flowers. Then I had to square all the images and edit them. There is a lot of vibrant colors in each picture. As well there is a natural vibe since the background doesn't contain any man-made objects.  One challenge that I had was the software I was using to edit. This made it very difficult to actually change the exposure, temptation, and saturation of my photos. My goal for the next draft is to get crisper images and develop my skills when focusing on the subject of each picture.
