For my free-inquiry project, I have decided to re-explore an interest of mine that I have not explored outside of the lens of employment or education in a long time. Digital photography is something I have always enjoyed as it allowed me to combine creativity and technical skills with the freedom to experiment. It has given me a reason to get outside and explore my surroundings while searching for new perspectives of everyday things. The intentionality of how I observe and capture my surroundings, as well as taking the time to edit my photos has been a practice I find to be grounding. Through exploring photography in an abstract setting, I hope to discover new skills, brush up on old ones, and experiment with ways of creating.

These are some of the styles I might explore:

  • Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) 
  • Double Exposure
  • Long Exposure 
  • Macro 
  • Geometric
  • Intentional Defocus
  • Distortion
  • Reflection
  • Minimalism
  • Multimedia
  • Collage
