For someone who has spent years crafting lyrics, the shift to capturing images with a camera represents a new chapter filled with both challenges and opportunities.
TAP ON EACH TILE TO EXPAND
As a Lyricist, I grew accustomed to conveying stories, emotions, and experiences through words and music.
While songwriting and photography are distinct art forms, they share common elements of creativity, composition, and expression.
MY STYLE IS A creative language through the lens of MY camera(S). PLAYING with light, shadow, color, and perspectiveS - Like I would with writing a song or drafting a CHORUS.
Songwriting often involves tapping into the depths of imagination to craft vivid imagery and metaphors.
Similarly, photography invites you to harness the power of visual imagination, allowing you to capture moments and details. transforming ordinary moments into extraordinary visual narratives.
Despite the shift in creative medium, my background as a songwriter can inform and enrich the journey as a cameraman. The parallels between the rhythm and flow of music and the composition and timing of photographic images are duely enjoyable.
Just as a song can evoke memories and emotions, the cinema & photographs have the power to transport you to different worlds.
Guess those DARKROOM PHOTOGRAPHY CLASSES IN HIGH SCHOOL PAID OFF. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR continued support .
Transitioning to a new creative discipline inevitably comes with its share of challenges and learning curves. You'll encounter technical aspects of photography such as camera settings, lighting techniques, and post-processing methods that may be unfamiliar at first.
However, with my dedication, practice, and a willingness to fail, I was able experience and settle in the growth and mastery.
photography allows you to explore a different mode of storytelling β one that relies on visual elements, composition and framing to evoke emotions and communicate narratives.
Instead of crafting songs aND ALBUMS, you now have the opportunity to capture moments, scenes and SETTINGS that resonate with your own unique perspective.
Above all, the transition from songwriter to photographer offers an opportunity for self-discovery and reinvention.
Whether music or photography, the journey of creative exploration is a deeply personal and rewarding pursuit that allows me to connect with people and the world in profound ways.
