My name is Joshua-Taylor Kim, and I was born and raised in Honolulu Hawaii. I am a current Senior in High-School at Mid-Pacific and have developed a passion for photography. However, portraying a story through a still image has been a struggle for me since day one. Not understanding composition, lighting, types of focus, and every other small detail to a photo has seemed held me back. So I started to refine my craft. Through tutorial or simply looking at other artists work, I’ve been able to develop an understanding for photography and the simple things that make each photo unique. Thus, in current days work, I’ve been trying to portray my work in ways not even my viewers should notice. For example, when scrolling through my gallery of work, whether you notice it or not, each will have been lighted composed, and focused in very different ways. Each of these small micro changes to the photos can have a huge change on its delivery. To further explain, I believe strongly in lighting. Lighting can either make or break a photo whether it have to do with its quality, it’s exposure, or the meaning. However, being that I have based my entire years worth of work around telling a story through my work, I’ve used lighting/color, focus (depth of field), and composition to manipulate my audience into viewing the photo in a way I want them to (thus making it easy to depict my meaning behind it/the emotions I want to be brought out by it). For example, from using dark tones in serious and moody situations, to using lighter tones to embrace a sense of joy and happiness, I have used this natural element in life to help structure my photos into the meanings I desired. Thus, this showcases not only the knowledge I have gained about photography through the ways I utilize elements such as focus (depth of field) and lighting/colors, but it also shows the real life experiencesI have gained from now having a better understanding about our complicated species and the way we perceive the smallest details.
