When I think about what makes me feel like my photography is successful, it's the fact that it inspires other artists to create.

It's not just about seeing my portraits get used in different mediums—it's not just about seeing them turned into beautiful works of art that I'm in awe of. It's about watching them inspire other artists to collaborate on projects that are just as beautiful and unique.

That's what happened with the "Camera Head Portraits" project, where I collaborated with RetouchRita. She took my photos and used them to create a series of beautiful paintings and sketches. And when the project was complete, she sent me each piece so that I could see how her work differed from mine.

Inspiring Creativity

Creating art with a camera, whether you're snapping a few photos or creating an entire series, can be a challenging but rewarding process. It's not just about picking up a camera, pointing it at something pretty and clicking away. To create truly stunning images that are more than just pretty pictures requires a lot of time, effort, and patience—and sometimes even some pain!

But what makes photography so unique is that it's one of the only forms of art where people can create something beautiful without having any formal training or education. All you need is a camera and some creativity (and maybe some Instagram filters if you want!). And while there are many photographers out there who have been able to make a living off their craft, most people do it simply because they love doing it. They don't do it for fame; they do it because they love taking pictures.

That's what makes photography such an amazing accomplishment: anyone can pick up a camera and take photos as long as they have the right equipment and know how to use it properly. But what really sets apart great photographers from mediocre ones is their ability to capture moments in time that will be cherished forever. Not only by the photograph but by how people will be able to take that photograph and turn it into their own creation.

Art Based Off Of My Photography

I've always loved how the artist's imagination is able to take something as simple as a photograph and create something completely new. I love how they can take one image and turn it into an entirely different story, whether it's through painting or sculpture or performance art.

I've always been drawn to these kinds of works because they remind me of what I love most about photography—the ability to capture something real, but then use the medium to create something totally new.

So here are a few works that I've come across recently that really stood out to me:
