About Me
- Mary Beth Photogaphy
- Salt Lake City, UT, United States
- I am a fine art photographer, currently attending UVU, planning of graduating with my BFA degree, emphasis in photography, in December of 2010. I grew up in the eccentric and artistic city of Portland, Oregon which jump started me into the arts at a young age. I thoroughly enjoy taking pictures of interesting people, varieties of cultures and styles. I do mostly fine art in my life right now, including mixed media projects. The reaction I love to get from my work is when people can't or don't want to stop looking at it. Almost like a bad car accident you know you shouldn't want to stare at but can't look away. Some might call some of my work morbid or "Tim Burton-esque" but I love the inner workings of the mind and why people do things and I want to show that about people through photography. Heavy influences come from artist like Diane Arbus, who also didn't like to photograph the pretty people, and also the Park-Harrisons. Their bizarre and dark pictures inspire me. I love their type of weird, but meaningful work and their elaborate settings. Photography is how I express my inner self and it thrills me everyday.
