Torrance Kindred | Stories behind every photo - Finding the extraordinary in the ordinary
About this Artist
I have always been very visual and from an early age was more drawn to the beauty around me as well as images seen in any media form. I enjoyed using my parent’s polaroid at an early age. A friend in high school saw me sketching and said you should be in art. That’s where my development in art started and capturing images took off. I went to college and studied art and design and picked up the camera again to assist in my work. I feel I have always used the cameral in “my head” being very visual. Also, utilizing a digital camera to assist how I see things and capture them conceptually is where I am growing now.
About this Work
The idea of this project was to “take the shot” of the people and places in my current surroundings rather than dismissing them as everyday images that I see. I also wanted to connect the stories and history of these people or places. What I may see as ordinary and regular some may consider interesting and beautiful, since it may be a world they have never seen or participated in.
