Peru: La Vida y la vista

The collection of photographs in Peru: La Vida y La Vista spans two years of my life in Peru, documenting my first experience to life outside of America and the as a novice DSLR camera user. It spans years of exploration through a country I fell in love with, and a cultural 'awakening' that opened up my world. I’m fascinated by artists’ development, the birth of their careers and the initial trials and experiments that started their path. This series shows the beginnings of my craft; it was when I began to consider subject and light in photos. I taught myself how to deliberately compose images which captured moments, which could allow the viewer’s gaze to move between objects in the frame, between foreground and background, and within the intention of visual storytelling.
