Personal Narrative
Victoria Andrade
What inspires me as a photographer is creating images that explore the beauty of the world that would normally not be appreciated in everyday life. The word I selected for my photo series was vulnerability. The subject matter I photographed to express my idea was people. I want my photographs to convey emotion and show that it is ok to feel because we are all human. I want my viewer to feel a hint of sadness, but mostly I want them to feel touched and inspired. Photography is important to me because it gives me a creative platform to tell stories without having to talk.
