Example: 

Laurens Kaldeway

Personal Background 

Laurens Kaldeway is Canadian and resides in northwestern Ontario. He is in his mid-40s. He is a teacher and a self-taught photographer. He started being interested in photography when his daughter was born. Laurens has said that if it weren't for his two kids, he probably would not have started taking pictures. Even though he considers himself a hobbyist, his photographs have been published in National Geographic. He is a reserved person and doesn't like to share much of his personal information. 

Style

Kaldeway likes to take pictures of people and their surroundings. He also experiments with different types and styles of photography. For example, he takes some amazing macro photos of water and oil. Most of photos that he takes are of his kids and wife. He photographs them while doing everyday things like going to school, baking cookies, or playing with toys. This makes his style seem more relaxed and relatable. Since his images are based on everyday moments and objects, it helps the viewers connect with the emotions in his photos. 

Philosophy

Kaldeway's work mostly consists of his family. He believes in taking pictures of his loved ones or things that are meaningful to him. Through his photographs, he describes who he is not only as a photographer but also as a person. He shows his love for his kids and life in general by taking pictures of the kids doing various things, such as reading or running. Family is one of the most important things for Kaldeway and it shows through his photography. 

Influences

 I was intrigued by the way Kaldeway uses ordinary objects and turns them into amazing pictures. I used to think that to take an interesting picture, there needed to be amazing scenery, models, or objects. After seeing his work, I am inspired to see the beauty in everyday objects and moments. I have learned a lot about composition and the importance of the way all objects are placed in a photo. One of my favorite things about his photos is that they are really personal and meaningful to him. I have learned that photos evoke more emotions if they show something about the artist's personality or life. This has led me to take more pictures of my daily life and also objects that express the way I am feeling in that moment.
