NATHAN HEALY

ARTIST STATEMENT

My name is Nathan Healy, I am a senior at Carlsbad High School, and I am currently enrolled in photo 2. I have had an interest in photography ever since I was about 14 years old, and I have only improved my skills since then. I enjoy multiple different types of shooting such as portraits and nature, but my most favorite thing to shoot by far is the ocean and surfing. I have had a passion for the ocean ever since I was about 9 years old, and my passion for photography soon cooperated with it. When I was 16, I purchased my first GoPro camera. This image was shot with that same camera. It was taken at Carlsbad State Beach. To capture this image, I used a photo burst mode that captures 5 photos within a second, and then I choose the best one. I used Photoshop enhance some of the colors and brightness. I am very happy with the outcome of this image.
