Artist Biography

My name is Dakota Moldowan, I'm 17 years young and I love hangout out with my friends and having a good time. I'm enjoy playing rugby, I've been the captain of my team since grade 8 and it has been an amazing learning experience and a fantastic opportunity. I have also been in 4-H for 5 years and it is a lot of fun, I love being around animals and lots of my friends are also in it as well. I'm proud to be Canadian and I enjoy living in Vanderhoof. Being outdoors is my favorite place to be, quadding, hunting, walks, shooting, I enjoy all of it and would do it 24/7 if I could. I've always been interested in photography ever since I was young. I always take pictures on my phone and on my moms cameras, I've just never really had the privilege until last year I had the opportunity to take photography in school. During that semester I learned a lot of things I didn't know about photography but I'm really glad I took photography in grade 11. Now I am currently in photography 12 at my high school, I'm excited to have a different teacher so I can learn even more things that I didn't learn last year with my other teacher. I enjoy taking pictures of my animal, wild life, sunsets, and anything out doors. I can't wait to see what I will learn later on in the semester and I hope our filed trips we take are full of fun and excitement!

THIS IS WHO I AM :D 

History of Photography

The first photograph taken with a camera obscura was taken by Joseph Nicephore Niepce in 1872, before Joseph Niepce people only used camera obscura for viewing or drawing not taking photos. After Niepce photographers experimented with different techniques for taking pictures. Now a days, Niepce is best known as an inventor of photography. The very first photograph ever taken is one of a kind and there was no copies ever made. Taking pictures now a days is a lot easier than it was for Joseph Niepce back in 1872. It took him hours just to make one photograph while now a days you can take a photo in a second on a cell phone or on digital cameras. Before photography pictures could only be made by hand, artist had to draw or paint a picture. Photography is and art or practice of taking pictures and processing photographs. Some of the famous photographers are Harry Benson, Helen Levitt, Brian Duffy and many more. Pictures now a days can be taken off your phone, digital, cameras, ipods, computers, go pros, trail cams etc. There are also not just one type of photography which some people might think but there are multiple types such as landscape, wildlife, aerial, sports, portrait etc. Photography isn't always just a hobby now a days it's a profession or a job which you can specialize in and go to college for. To be a good photographer you have to be prepared and flexible, be patient, and connect with your emotions.
