Qyara Fonteno - Human Nature
My interest In photography has evolved through my love of fashion and nature, with a growing interest and experiences with portrait photography. The main idea of my project is to photograph models in both urban and natural settings. The reason I wanted to capture models in both nature and urban environments is because there is a powerful realization that beauty is more than skin deep and so are the areas around us.
Growing up I loved sifting through fashion magazines and seeing photographs of models all over the city, in galleries, and malls. I enjoy looking at the work of fashion designers and landscape photographers as they have always captured my attention and have always been inspiring me. Getting the opportunity to put aside fear, try new ideas out, and trust my creative process on location has been a dream come true that is continuing to increase my passion for both fashion and photography. My images require experimentation with place, fashion choices, and knowledge of the site and prior to the shoot.
