Today we’d like to introduce you to Kerry Hawkins.
Kerry, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I am fine art photographer. I attended the Art Institute of Boston, majoring in graphic design. I have always been interested in Photography. I became serious about photography in my second year of college and I have been photographing ever since. It is my way of expressing myself creatively
As a photographer and artist I am drawn to the contrasts, complexity and vibrancy of cityscapes and neighborhoods there are a myriad of opportunities to capture unseen moments and scenes in city life.
I have also started nature, I love the shape of leaves and petals. I have a community garden. Growing things fascinate me. I have also started photographing little animal toys. They make me smile. It is fun to experiment with photographing miniatures.
I live in Dedham, MA. I am a Co-Founder of the Dedham Square Artist Guild in Dedham Square. I show my work at this gallery/shop. The Dedham Guild is an artist coop and we are going on our 8th year
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It isn’t always been a smooth road. Life happens! I have made steady gains in the field. I have been able to also to use my camera to photograph people, events, products and more.
It can be a struggle to keep disciplined and photograph every week. Spending time on the craft of photography. It can be hard to keep creative. You have to push yourself. I find photographing with other photographers helps you inspire yourself and fellow photographers
