Aaron Kennedy was a teen artist in the Photography Studio at Artists for Humanity. He has lived in Boston his entire life, and will soon venture outside the limits of Massachusetts in order to expand his horizons. Aaron was hired on September 29th, 2020, initially working in the 3D Design studio, creating various mixed media visual art pieces. For the most part, he was creating highly intricate collages out of various magazines that AFH had supplied 3D studio with; the keen eye that he used to make sure that every separate piece was cut with perfect precision came in handy when venturing into the world of digital photography. He hopes to still be able to explore his passion for visual arts and photography beyond Artists for Humanity, and will always pay homage to them for the opportunities and experiences that he’s had while being here.

I really only take pictures of plants and animals. There’s just something so captivating about the intricacies of nature; no two organisms look the same, and that’s something that I always found intriguing. To provide some background information, I was raised by those who’ve always had a green thumb - constantly surrounded by the beauty of my family's gardens. I’ve always tried to capture the elegance of the flora and fauna that I’m surrounded with in all of my art, and photography allows me to depict the natural world in its raw state. Although Boston’s increasing industrialization has taken away the majority of the city's natural landscape, I still manage to record whatever natural beauty is left.
