Recent Photos

These are some of my favorite photos I've recently shot and I thought I would share! I decided to put all these photos in black and white because I'm inspired by Roger Ballen. On prof. Holcome's blog she posted a quote by Roger Ballen that struck a cord with me and made me realize the importance of a black and white photo.

"I just feel black-and-white photography is far more abstract of an art form. It doesn't make any pretense that it captures reality, which color photography tends to do. What you're seeing is camera reality, digital reality, it's just another form of reality but it doesn't necessarily mimic the reality that the mind sees. I've always felt there was something a little artificial about color photography; I like the abstraction and the bare essentialness of black-and-white. But that's just me."
