CULTURE
I personally resonate most with culture associated with America. Because of that, I showed a picture I took at a campfire at the beach a few weeks ago. It shows corn on the cob slowly baking. I really liked how I was able to capture a snapshot of the flames that in reality are alays…

FLOWERS
When looking at the prompt for flowers, I was really excited because flowers have got to be one of my favorite things to photograph since I was little. I wanted to capture the beauty and whimsy. I did this by using a shallow depth of field to give a dreamy vibe. [50mm, 1/500, F1.8, ISO…

FACELESS SELF PORTRAIT
I took this picture at a playground at nighttime to present an eerie juxtaposition, it is meant to represent me clinging onto my childhood even though I am growing. The flowers act as a metaphor for me growing into being comfortable with myself. They also represent the mask I often put up to appear confident.[24mm,…
