These are a few photos that I have taken over the years. I don't necessarily consider myself to be a photographer in any way because it's not a main focus of mine when it comes to my art work, but I do have a good handful of photos that I have taken that I really like and are proud of, and these are just a few examples. Some of them have been run through a filter through apps on my iPhone. I like to find photos that maybe don't have the greatest composition to begin with and then add the filters to add to the photo and make it look better in its overall composition. I love flowers in bloom, these are a main focus in my photographs when I do take photos that aren't for the sake of capturing a memory on a family trip or day with friends. I mostly take color photos, I don't really create black and white images, mainly because these photos are taken with my iPhone and by putting them through a b&w filter, any sort of color captured in the photo that made it beautiful, for me, is now gone and it becomes something of a simple photo rather than what the original coloring and lighting brought to the photograph. As seen in the first picture though, I will create photos where the background is black and white and the foreground of the photograph is kept in color. These photos can be very powerful when highlighting something specific in the foreground, or even background, of an image.
When I do take photos, good or otherwise, I like to take them of just about anything even though a primary focus does tend to be flowers, because they are just every where and so beautiful when in bloom and I really like to capture that moment, especially on a sunny day.
