I am Natalie Stephenson. I am 15 years old and have been taking pictures for about 3 years now. I first started in 7th grade in my yearbook elective class. We worked on taking pictures and cutting them out digitally using a base similar to photoshop. I don’t really care for taking photos of people but more of animals and plant life along with random objects that suffice to my aesthetics in life, as you can see that I don’t have any humans in my pictures, they are all objects, pets, and plants. My inspiration is when my pets are in a cute pose that I know they most likely won’t be in during the next five minutes so I get my camera out while they are still there and shoot my shot. It usually takes a few tries to get the picture perfect but they usually come out well. I take pictures to secure a moment in time digitally so I can keep that memory for years to come. My challenges are finding good opportunities, with all the sickness around at this time, I can't go out to places as much to take good pictures of different things so I am stuck with the same things in different ways. I do excel at catching my pets in a photo op moment at times and other times they don’t cooperate as much as I would like them to. I hope you enjoy my creativity, thank you.
