Artists Statement
In my "Natures Layers" artwork, I used pictures taken and edited by myself. I am a fan of photography, always have been since my uncle had introduced the art to me. In recent years I have become more and more passionate about my work. This piece, "Natures Layers" is literally layers of nature. I used an image of raindrops on a windshield for the background, I had set my phone on the dashboard of my car, front camera on, and took the picture. The main layer is a picture of the sky, I put a slight filter on it to create more definition to the clouds and to create a brighter blue sky. The picture of the dark blue ocean, I had taken in Hawaii, the plane was taking off, I had taken the photo at the very last second, I applied a filter to create a deeper colored ocean, and to make the photo look overall more professional like. The last layer was a layer of a purple and peach sunset. I took this picture on the side of Miller Road. I had considered every aspect of each photo, and every detail thoroughly to create a vastly different but beautiful photo.
