"after all, it has a lot to do with taste and that's what i'm constantly developing."
It's all about the story.
Good equipment is just a bonus and scenic locations are just made for generic backdrops. The real talent lies on how you can create a storyline that both feeds the soul and inspires others; to make others see the world through another perspective that makes us more human, more real.
Not a lot can possess this skill which is why we are ecstatic to find a passion-driven guy who does. By redefining art & mixing it up with his personal touch, rest assured that it's just the beginning of something great.
what inspires you?
"This is a ridiculously cliché answer, but being a photographer and graphic designer, I draw inspiration from literally everything: books, magazines, restaurant menus and layouts, album art, bathroom signs, other artists-- everything. I'm constantly observing my surroundings, analyzing and judging. This is because I like to discern whether or not something is aesthetically pleasing to me, as well as the possible processes as to how the artist came up with that concept or design.
I want to treat everything like it's educational because it helps me train my eye. After all, being a visual artist has a lot to do with taste, and that's something that I'm constantly developing."
how did this inspiration lead you to make your masterpiece?
"To be honest, I don't think I've created anything that I could call my masterpiece-- at least, not yet. I'm relatively new to the passions I'm pursuing now. I've been practicing design for about two years, photography for less than one, so I don't have anything that I could call my "masterpiece" just yet.
However, I can say that being observant to my surroundings leads me to create something aesthetically pleasing because I know, visually, what looks good. A lot of the process of how I create has to do with what I liked in everything that I've observed. If I liked how a photographer composed a picture, when I see a sight that's similar, I try to emulate it but adding my own personal touch. The same goes for design."
