South Bend Farmer’s Market

Artist Statement
Experiencing a farmer’s market is to experience the fun and
spontaneity of everyday life, presented in a limited time offering. I am taking
photos ranging from wares to sellers, immobile objects to variable paced
shoppers. The experience of photography, especially in such situations, is
difficult at best not to receive some sort of interaction with those around me,
and in some instances it enhances the experience. Sellers want their booths to
be shown in the best possible light, straightening and primping their tables,
donning their biggest smiles. Of course, with what I witness at events like
this, there is little need for such concern.
Adorning shelves, cabinets, displays racks and in every nook
and cranny, the Farmer’s Market is a visual paradise. Taking pictures is a
pleasure in such an environment. The
decisions of what to take pictures of are simply presented by the spontaneity
of vibrant colors with each step. The contrast in textures and light make it a
phenomenal atmosphere to document through photography.
Playing with lighting, camera angles, and shutter speed, I
am focusing on presenting the simple beauty and bustling activity of the Farmer’s Market. There is a
cheerful nature about the place, and in my work, I am focusing on expressing
that emotion, that fullness of life that comes with entering this event.
