ARTIST STATEMENT BY NATHAN GAIN, NPHS CLASS OF 2020

“Why/how did you start taking photos?” Is a question I have heard countless times. I sometimes struggle with this question because sometimes you feel like they just wanna hear the simple easy answer or sometimes you may think they want the full story of why you began creating the art you create. I always wonder what to say or how to say it but it always ends up being along the lines of “to be honest I don’t know. It just happened one day and it clicked”. To me, photography came naturally because I enjoyed seeing something capturing it and then making it come to life in the way I envision that thing in my head. Photos mean the world to me, I hope to continue taking photos next year and for many years to come as it allows me to keep track of time and memories that I have with people or places that I have been. Whether this is freelance photography or working for a corporate company, I just know that I want to pursue photography in some way shape, or form for the rest of my life.

CONGRATULATIONS NATE!

Best of luck as you continue on to your next step!
