KET Three Option Multiple Matching

I have always loved drawing, painting, and photography as far as I can remember. My father and brother are also very artistic, so I was heavily influenced by them. Yet as I got older, I started making excuses as to why I shouldn’t become a professional painter. For some reason, I thought an art career just wasn’t for me, so I held it back for the longest time. My studio is in my home, so I like to get out of bed and get straight to work.

I first started photography when my dad bought his new Nikon D850 with a 500 mm lens. Before this, I had always loved the idea of taking pictures to capture a special moment and had been documenting various events in life with my smartphone. But when I first borrowed my dad’s Nikon, I realised how much more creative I could be, so I began my journey into the world of photography. To me, photography is a way to freeze a moment.

I began sculpting from an early age working closely with my father. I wanted to take Fine Arts then, but it was way too expensive for me. I have no means, but still, it didn't prevent me from pursuing it as my favourite occupation. As I grew up on a farm, I admired wildlife, so it was the most natural thing to start sculpting. I believe you naturally create something that you know.
