Photos+Video=Art

Being a filmer or a photographer may seem an easy job. In all honesty, it  is an easy job, but the hard part is thinking of creative ideas using a camera to create something more than a photo or a video. When filming and taking photos become your career, you should consider yourself as an artist. Why? Well when a person  looks at a painting it makes them wonder. When someone sees a photo or a video it makes them wonder too. Photos and videos are just variations of art pieces.

I wanted to become a filmer because I was always interested in art, but I was never good in drawing or painting. Ever since I picked up a camera and started experimenting with it. I was hooked. Non-stop would I take videos and photos. My goal is to bring my work where the people can appreciate art more and show people that anyone can make art pieces whether its with a pencil, paintbrush, instrument, or a camera anyone can make art.

Creativity may seem a God-given talent, but its really not. Creativity comes from your own mind and being different. In our world today, everyone is different, so is our minds. When we show our minds through something like a photo or video, it shows creativity. Thinking of good ideas can be hard, but one thing to remember is to express yourself and not express your fake identity. Art is about expressing yourself and it should stay that way.
