Jayden Tran
Artist Statement
My name is Jayden Tran and I am a photographer. I am currently a 5th year mathematics and operations management student. I’ve only started doing photography 2.5 years ago and I’m still trying to find what art means to me.
There are a lot of things that influence my art and my own practice, in the same way that I am influenced by the things I see and the people I meet. While I can list a lot of amazing photographers that have inspired me, I am inspired by the innate nuance and complexities of the people around me and my own environment. Everyone is so much more interesting than even they might think. I believe that art is a way to express yourself in ways you otherwise can’t with explicit words.
About Artworks
One night, while I was staying up, I suddenly had a random interest in photography. I’ve never seen any sort of serious photographic work nor was I even remotely familiar with the craft, but I just thought it’d be fun. I asked a friend for advice and just like that, I bought my first camera. I went to Vietnam for four months because my family lived there and began falling in love more and more with photography.
