Artist's Statement
This project actually helped me learn a little more about my mom, and I also got more experienced with shooting photos with different frames, and editing photos. I chose my mom because I knew there were still some things I didn't know about her, and she likes photography so she enjoyed having her pictures taken, and it was all around a good experience. I'm glad I learned more about taking portrait style photos as well.
