Human Leah Lamden

Artistic Statement Life is not reality. But reality is life. Representing the different realities of different people with the twist of an artistic view is my photography. The moment is beyond a portrait. The moment is human nature. Human nature intensified. Bright colors and bold shapes make the scene contemporary and surreal. And yet, simple is pleasing. Feel the subtle vibe of fashion, without the glamour. Frames of color and angles become intriguing. And as anticipated, once that right picture is found, I have a point to make it fascinating. Make it interesting. Make it surprising. But with the right view and the opportunity to capture a moment, it will become captivating. The people will become captivating. The photograph will become captivating. And it will all just be human.

Biography Even when I was a kid, I have always been interested in art. There was no way to avoid it because my life has been immersed with many varieties of art. I could never figure out exactly what I wanted to be, but I knew I had to be something creative. I’ve experimented with many different art forms, whether it be visual, digital, or fine; and I have come to find that I like them all. I never was the best in classes such as drawing or painting, but being able to express myself was very important to me. When I finally came across photography it opened up a new view: and a new way to express myself. The idea of taking a picture: a moment happening right then and there intrigued me. Ever since I learned how to use a camera, I have thought of myself as a photographer. And I hope to continue my studies and be a professional photographer in my future.
