A lover of technology. As our world becomes increasingly visually saturated, photography as an art form has exploded with popularity, particularly from the advent of smartphones. I personally find many to be willing to explore photography, but may feel limited by their current gear, leaving the artistic decisions to software rather than themselves. I explore the comparisons of smartphone computation to newer and older full-fledged cameras, and leave the question to you on how to approach photographic compromise.

The fear of being forgotten. Each image in this series stands in support for a cause brought upon by our own actions. From Mother Nature’s environment to our fellow peers, there are many, both figuratively and metaphorically, signs around us that demand more attention.

The fear of being seen. A Japanese startup named Vaak is testing artificial intelligence algorithms to detect burglars through video feeds in convenience stores. A photographer shooting into a home with its blinds open is sued but wins. We are living in an increasingly monitored world, where we don’t know when (or more so, when isn’t) a camera being pointed at us. Do you have that fear?

The love to travel. The benefits of travelling to broaden worldview, explore new cultures, or even appreciate a family vacation are oft spoken. But, this project examines those who are rooted where they grew, out of the deepest patriotism for their respective country. These tour guides bring together people all over the world, to expertly describe one specific microcosm. In the same way we learn more about somewhere new, they learn offhand the traditions, habits, and languages of someone new, without even having traveled in the first place.

The revolutionary modern device. The enchantment of mobility and personal media consumption has catapulted the smartphone to arguably the most life-changing invention since Apple’s hallmark announcement over a decade ago. It has created cultural disputes over the positive and negatives effects of being obsessed with the world’s online presence. This series explores how healthy or addictive we perceive everyday behaviors, interactions, and decisions with tiny computers in our pockets.
