Angela Bouwright

I choose this artist because her achievements are very inspiring to me.  In mix of her works her photographs with tattoos are amazing.  I want achieve just as great lighting skills with my works just as much as she does with hers.  I believe her and I have same passion as her in wanting to photograph these different subcultures of people in America.

Angela was born in Columbus, Ohio.  She moved to NY when she was 18 and that is when she started photographing people in subcultures.  She photographed her friends skateboarding and bands at shows in the beginning.  Her first published photograph appeared in Thrasher magazine and now photographs for countless other magazines currently.  One of her first big shows was "200 Troubled Teenagers" it showed in LA, NYC, and Colette, Paris.  She is represented by PMI.  Currently she photographs trash metal bands, live,  and fan portraits.    Today she still photographs lives in NYC but often travels everywhere.

"I always think photographers shoot what they want to understand. So when I'm shooting heavy metal kids, I'm just trying to understand that part of my youth. I guess I see a part of myself in these kids sometimes,"- Angela
