My inspiration for my image was Jerry Uelsmann. His work is amazing in the form of how he connects science and the arts. Although his work is back and white i just wanted to make it more modern. He is also a big inspiration for my senior ex idea. i think his work is genious, and he is a true photographer because of his skill using film and developing his pictures but also of the ideas he portrays.
What i decided to for my final was stop action. i have always like cpturing things oin the momment when people are off grounds. The first picture is a kid flipping his hair in the air. his hair seemed very unique and so i decided to choose him with his hair like that. The other kid is dancing and he always does dances off the ground and i cought him in jumping in the air. The last kid is my cousing thats very tiny and i decided to make carlos swing her to show her tiny body off the ground.

Artist’s Statement
My work consists of a natural beauty scene, which can almost be seen as a dreamy fantasy nature, and also with a bit sense of fashion that intrigues the photograph. My aesthetic and technique can be related to the work of many out door fashion photographers especially those who shoot more of nature. It is an attempt at creating a personal vision, where the beauty of nature and clothes, which traces a naturalistic vision, mixing in with fashion concepts that can create a contrast, and in doing all of that the challenge the subjectivity of photography.
My personal objective is that creating a work that is beautiful and breath taking. Not just any ordinary beauty but a natural beauty that Mother Nature offers. That beauty and ability of breath being taken away will come from seeing the landscape in the background and also by what the models are wearing and how they are posing in the photographs.
My art is influenced by the outdoors, and recent commercials of representing Mexican culture called Bicentenario, 2010. I have dedicated my self to find similar locations that would show the different types of beauties that Mother Nature offers us.
There is mostly a pattern of sky and earth tones in my work; the purpose is to create that sky to show space and also to represent Mother Nature the green colors and our brown colors show the earthly tones of our planet. The viewer of my work will be confronted with the theme of Fashion in Nature in which will try and convince them of the awareness of our beautiful planet and the beauties it has to offer us. It is taking photographs of beautiful landscapes of Mother Nature and models in earthly tones that have become personal for me, and breath taking to the viewer.
