Nature and Motion

I have always had the notion to photograph nature as I am on my travels anywhere. Wether it be from home to school, school to work, or home to another country. Although one would think I have a stationary and static view because Ive lived in one place my whole life (Miami,FL), my view is quite the opposite. My Florida story is always in motion and always on the way to somewhere else. it has everything to do with the travel and the journey. Due to this impulse, my portfolio idea is to capture nature and motion. Taking photos of the nature that catches my eye while on my way to places. Showing Florida's nature through my eyes, on my journeys, travels, and motions.
(I think I want to split my chapters in to groups, motion, nature, and motion in nature).

Inspirations:

Nan Goldins photos are a huge inspiration to me because of the very intimate and spontaneous nature of her pictures, even those that aren't specifically of nature or in motion. These 3 photos by her are very related to the aesthetic I want for my photos. For example in the two pictures, Sunset on the Train, it is obvious that she is on her way somewhere and capturing along the journey. In this particular picture she captures the outside nature through the view of the movement of the vehicle she's in. I want to capture nature in this same way to convey a journey or someone on the road or a travel somewhere.

Pipilotti Rist is another inspiration of mine for her photography and video installations. I love the way she presents nature and the human body in its natural form and in such a vibrant and distinct way. The way she portrays the human body is something I'd like to incorporate in to my portfolio because to me the human body is also a form of nature. Id like to capture the two together. Thats why I don't want to just say nature in motion. Because id also like to incorporate other things that I consider nature and the motion in them. (The natural in nature)

One of my last inspirations are two photographers who work together that aren't very well known. They run a website named Wiisa. Vanessa Hollander & Wilson Philippe.

Im really inspired by the spontaneity, the impact, and the scenery. Each photo is very impactful and you can imagine yourself in the scenery, I imagine the way the waves and the people move. That is an element I aim for in my photos.
