Desolation

 

Sometimes, I forget that the image I present online is a little better than things really are and people assume things. Winning the yobi contest would be the best thing that's happened to me in years.

I am a 20 year-old photographer, young by most standards. I picked up my first camera four years ago while growing up in Ohio, then made a random move to Atlanta towards the end of last year to try and find more and better work. I mainly work in the music industry when I get work, shooting for record labels and magazines. 

I am fascinated by human nature. Whether it's photographing someone to create an image to sell a product or capturing something unique and magical, if I take a photograph it has to have a person in it. Change who is being photographed at a location and you have over 6 billion possibilities to begin with.

A tree is always a tree, a bird is always a bird, a sunset will always be a sunset. A human presents endless creative choices for me as a photographer, I want to capture slices of time that will never exist again. I want to tell stories with my photographs that have never been told before.

Desolation

Description

This is another photograph I did this summer in the Salt Lake flats, where they race rocket cars and other various super fast vehicles.
It's quite like the other photo I submitted, it's more of a series. It's a photo that, for me, represents the desolate and lonely sensation we as humans sometimes feel. Social interactions are extremely important to us and sometimes we go through moments where we just don't feel it, we feel alone even as we're surrounded by friends. That's the basic meaning behind this image to me, but I prefer to not attach (no pun intended) any meaning to my photos and would rather have others interpret it themselves.
The difference in this shot is I used colors to create a sort of swirling shift in the mood of the photo depending on where you looked.
