Artist Statement

I create art because it is a creative outlet for me. I am not a very good artist when it comes to drawing or painting but for some reason I have a stong attraction to photography. I am inspired by my friends or cool things I see, anything can be inspiring. I like to try and include things I am inspired by in my photos. I have done all photography so far, and obviously I would like to make photography during the semister.

The artist I have choosen to analyse is Peter Lik. He is a landscape photographer from South Western America. He uses a Hasselblad medium format digital camera and a Linhof film camera along with photoshop to edit the final images. I think that his "eye" for photography is amazing, his work is incredible. One of his most famous photos is called Ghost.
Here is his website
