Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Tedra Begay

I’ve been deeply interested in photography since I was young. I find the time and creativity involved in this art form unique, and it constantly expands my knowledge and understanding.Through my photography, I capture what is dear to me. I seek out situations and images that resonate with me and allow viewers to see what I hold in high regard. Most of my work revolves around specific times, places, and people, each with its reference and story. I focus on formal elements such as composition, value, texture, and overall presentation. Photography is a valuable medium in our time, allowing me to express myself through my camera and images. It’s a time-consuming and process-oriented craft, and I enjoy the challenge of capturing and sharing my images with viewers.I draw on cultural elements from the Navajo culture and aim to incorporate them into new art forms. This requires careful attention to material textures and thoughtful planning.
