Departure Point - Kelly Mullin


Hi all. I’m Kelly “Happy” Mullin, currently I’m a visual studies major with a concentration in photography. This is my senior year at Tyler and finally sticking to some sort of idea when it comes to my work. I also commute to school since I live in Doylestown, PA. When I’m not taking pictures I’ll probably be out with friends or watching Netlix. Hiking around in forests and parks are also a hobby of mine along with recently trespassing on abandoned buildings.




            The idea I would like to follow this semester is the idea of intimacy in my work a focus on making people look more in my photos. I intend to do this by using bigger paper and printing my photo small upon it. I hoping by doing this the viewer will have to get closer and really step in to my photos. It’s a new way for my approach but I would love to see how it goes. My focus tends to be upon things of nature and such also.





The first photo posted is one of the first landscape photos I have ever taken. It is located in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts. This is actually my friend’s backyard. The photo was taken at sunset Thanksgiving Day which makes for great photos due the quality of light at that time.  The high contrast has no filter it was taken that way. I actually got this photo in to a photo journal in my last college art journal. This became the start to me taking more landscapes.
