I am a hobbyist photographer so I relate to the visual arts that way, but I'm not a painter.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't paint. I am a hobbyist photographer, so I relate to the visual arts that way, but I'm not a painter.
Truthfully, I don't really think of myself as a photographer. I don't have all the disciplines and knowledge of a person who's spent their life devoted to photography.
I'm a photographer, period. I love photography, the immediacy of it. I like the craft, the idea of saying 'I'm a photographer.'
I used to be a photographer - and now I'm some kind of digital photographic artist.
Painting is a hobby for me.
My job is art curator, not artist. All I have ever wanted to do is immerse myself in art, to enjoy it, to learn about it, to write about it, to talk to others about it.
I can draw really well. And I like to paint. I'm a bit of an artist.
I feel like I became an artist by default. I went to art college, but my interest was always more towards film than painting or sculpture.
I don't see myself as a photographer. I still see the photographs and collages as a resource for the painting.
I still take photographs for my own use, personal studies. I do not feel that I can fully express my views through the medium and this is why I have moved towards painting.
