Who's Lexy Babcock?
I've taken on the challenge of trial and error and being able to bond with my camera. It's been extremely rewarding. I look at people with much more intrigue and appreciation, I imagine setting up a photo shoot for my outfit of the day, I notice when sunlight hits my face at an angle, it's change the way I look at everyday life. Because of this, I've decided to venture into answering the question, "What does a Lexy Babcock photograph look like?"
It's no secret that a Banksy piece of street art is obviously one of his or that a photograph of a celebrity with intense light in front of a white background is from Terry Richardson. It's a niche, a consistent element. I want that and I'm going to get it the only way I know how, to practice and analyze.
I've devoted my senior year to throwing myself into photography, face first. I've spent countless lunch periods sitting in the photography class, or researching famous photographers. All of this led to me to my strategy to understand photography through the eyes of those I look up to. This means taking elements from David LaChapelle, Terry Richardson, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Cindy Sherman, etc. and adding my own spin. They continue to inspire me to fall deeper in love with photography and this idea of inspiration surrounds this entire process.
I can only hope that I will reach my goal of being better than a photographer 10 years older than me. It's a stretch, but I love a good challenge.
