Kiki Creates

Specialties

I’m a photographer based out of Florida who specializes in Landscape, Architectural, Wedding, and Lifestyle Photography, as well as Design. KiKi, a nickname I have had since I was born, carried over to my art almost 8 years ago. The first piece I had ever printed for a show needed to be signed, and signing it as KiKi seemed natural. I began my love for the arts in high school when my Dad gave me my first camera – his old Minolta MPS X-​700. I kept a 50 mm f/1.7 lens on it nearly all the time and shot predominately in black and white. I believe that my base for photography will always be with the knowledge I learned using a film camera. Still to this day, I love the art behind film and the dream-​like, reminiscent qualities it holds. I think my appreciation for film derives from the fact that everything that photo programs and digital technologies have progressed to today has been inspired by our true film pioneers and film-​based camera processes of years ago. Not only photography, but all arts progress rapidly nowadays, and it’s sometimes overwhelming and hard to express myself creatively when I have so many outlets to use. I wanted my portfolio to be very colorful and show how I’m capable of showing my talents in various mediums. Although Photography is my favorite medium to work with, I also paint, sculpt, etch, carve, build and pretty much any interesting and new way to put what I see and think in my mind into a visual piece of art.
