Photography has always been very fascinating and enjoyable to me. There is something about taking a picture that I just love. The best part, to me,  is finding many different and creative ways to capture a moment or a place so that you can remember it for a long time to come. My goal with photography  is to catch peoples eye with my photos and show them a different look at things and places. Along with that, in the future I hope to raise awareness to global conservation but mainly focusing on the oceans.  I feel like people need to appreciate all that the world has to offer and understand the worlds problems and the most powerful way to express this is through photography. Some photographers who influenced me and whose work I admire very much are Ansel Adams, Christina Mittermeier, and Paul Nicklen. Christina Mittermeier and Paul Nicklen have influenced me in their photos because they all have a story behind each and every one of them. Their work for National Geographic and Sea Legacy is to raise awareness for climate change and concerving the earth's oceans and all the living things within them. I hope to do the same thing with photography.
