I recently took up photography in school. It's something that has always interested me and my good friend Anson has been doing it for a long time and is an inspiration to me. He's a great photographer, his work looks professional and because of it he got offered a full scholarship to ACAD. I love taking photos, I think I have a pretty good eye for composition and colour. This is a shot of mine that is of the new stairs and railing in my house. I like the vertical pillars, contrasting with the horizontal of the floor, and the diagonal of hand rail. I also like the red light coming in from the main floor. I like this photo because I think it is very subtle and understated, the picture is of the stairs but the light tells a story. I think photography gives me a way to express or show my eye for art, because I'm terrible when it comes to painting or creating anything physical. I'm pretty proud of this shot, I used the largest possible aperture and an 8 second shutter speed which still barely let any light in, giving you an idea of how pitch black it was.
(Sorry if you can't see the photo because it is too dark)
