Being able to personally create a photo from start to finish within planning and styling it becomes a painting in my eyes. The process within my photography reminds me of how beautiful art is created with a creative tool like my camera. The same goes for any other type of artist in their field, the process is beautiful and inspiring. Art lasts for a lifetime, giving a deeper connection and meaning to the moments and experiences captured.
