I took this photo from a unique viewpoint, from the rock on which my friend was standing. This perspective is manipulated because it appears that my friends shoes, in the foreground, are much larger than the vast landscape and clouds in the background of the photo.
I believe that this photograph is similar to film noir because I utilized harsh leading lines and contrast in the composition. Furthermore, I used a black and white filter in Photoshop to replicate the film style. Although there is no human subject in my photo, I think that the high-contrast lighting on the water and …
I took this photo during a day trip to San Francisco. My friend and I both bought the same apple juice drink, so I placed one in the foreground and one from the background in order to make the closer one appear much larger. I also decided to frame the photograph from a low angle …

This photo represents gratitude to me because I’m extremely grateful for my close friends. I particularly love this photo because it is truly a candid, unplanned photo that demonstrates the fun dynamic between my friends.
