I've never written a blog before so I may bore you or be unenlightening but will do my best. I am a first year Bachelor of Visual Arts student in Dunedin. My main loves in life are photography, fashion and travel, I want to travel to places all over the world, even through I have never ventured outside of New Zealand. I still have no idea what I really want to do when I finish art school but want to do something in photography or get back to the fashion side of things, at this stage in life I still have no idea.
A few of my favourite artists, all photographers.
I found Jay Archibald last year at high school when I was looking at abstractions and lights and patterns in photography and loved his work.

Erlend Mork, his work is very dark but I love the surrealism and colours, the creepiness that draws you in, its meaningful symbolics, its amazing.

I love national geographic photos, it would be my absolute dream job to work from them, as a documentry or nature and wildlife photographer, travelling to these amazing places, taking beautiful photos, I can't pick a favourite photographer or photo from this but love it.

Paul Strand, I love his work, the details the shadows, the lines, the patterns, the contrast they all speak to the final work, I love the truth his photos captured the one people dont generally see because its not the commercial truth, but the real truth.
