Why What I Do Is Art

At its core, art is about expression, creativity, and conveying emotions and ideas. That’s what I strive for with my photography. Each photo I take reflects how I see and experience a particular scene. I create a specific mood or feeling by playing with tones, contrast, framing, and perspective.
