"Untitled"

ARTIST STATEMENT

My art style is street photography. I love the grittiness black and white photography gives to raw subjects and everyday life. During shooting sessions, there usually is no plan, setup, or guide, only the moment. I capture that moment through feeling. My purpose is that I hope to trigger emotions through my photos. As humans, we feel emotions and I believe that’s both painful and a blessing. The true state and realness of people's lives are what inspire me to take a photo of something as well as something that stands out of the everyday norm.

Robert Andaluz is a 2nd-year CSUN student majoring both in Chicano Studies and Journalism. He has been practicing photography for a year, trying to develop new ideas, and gain some from past artists, and also new ones. Photography is one of his hobbies, his dream, however, is to pursue writing and work for the LA Times. Robert is mostly inspired by the chaos and beauty that surrounds him as well as his personal writings that influence what he captures through his camera lens.
