Description: *all photographs were shot with a nikon d40x and digitally enhanced on adobe photoshop cs4 An individual’s personal life experiences affecting their inner thoughts becomes the essence of their character and is truly what sets apart their lives among the millions of others in the world. At times two or more people may share the same perspectives, but this can only be achieved if either end voices out their opinions. Writing and art are two of the many different outlets a person may utilize to get their point across. With writing, a person may attack with words, sentences, and paragraphs whereas with art, a person may pierce the canvas board with a paintbrush. Both techniques guide the creative juices in a person’s mind to spill out into the open. For myself, I write out my thoughts onto paper as a way to organize the words jumbled inside my head and reflect on what experiences I may be going through at that particular moment. I also visually interpret how I view the world by drawing or painting. I hold art and writing very close to my heart and I decided to fuse the two elements into a photograph. Through visually interpreting my own secrets and thoughts, I enable the audience to have a glimpse into my mindset. Throughout the process, I explored the creative possibilities that were available in creating an interesting setting for the models and objects to make the viewers yearn for more information due to the shortened statements written out within the photograph. Because these statements are secrets, I purposely cropped out and darkened facial features of the models to keep it anonymous as well as produce a mysterious atmosphere within the environment. The statements in the actual photographs are shortened versions of the actual title of the piece to make the viewer yearn for more information and understanding. My photographs have hints of what I may be trying to speak out, but it never is in full explanation. I would like the audience to take a chance and come up with their own interpretations. My secrets are influenced by the experiences I have undergone. Some are serious and thought-provoking whereas some are random and comical. This goes to show not all secrets and thoughts are meant to have a pensive mood attached to them, but rather some depicts an individual’s traits and habits. My intentions were for the viewer to analyze the meaning of my notions and hopefully open their minds to a different perspective with the possibility of building a connection with their own views on life.
