I can relate to this photographer for her love and interest towards landscape photography. Her work inspires me to venture out to new places. All aspects of life can be considered art, it just takes the right eye to appreciate the natural beauty. Cunningham admires the raw elements of life and incorporates deep emotion into each picture grasping the viewer's attention. I too want the viewers to feel emotion about my photography. I want them to feel as if they are living in the moment when the picture was originally taken. I believe that each picture tells a story that can be incorporated into various ways. The goal is to not only see the picture, but to listen to what the picture is saying and absorb the emotional response.
