I took this photo at Westwind Community Barn. I believe that the negative space and shadows at the top and bottom of the frame create a sense of isolation. Furthermore, the horse is literally off the beaten path (which is behind it), and its lowered head provides a sense of melancholy.
This is a picture of some new plant growth in one of my succulent pots. The original succulent, which is in the background of the photo, used to be more abundant, but most of it died during the winter. However, due to the rain and the nutrients in the soil, a new plant started growing …
This is a photo of plastic package wrapping (that I was planning to throw away) from some clothes that I ordered layered on top of a colored light. I wanted to take advantage of the clear plastic and emphasize the words on the packaging by putting it on top of the light. In Photoshop, I …
Every year, my family tapes all the holiday cards we receive on the door of our entryway closet. I think it’s kinder than just throwing the cards away right away, and it also is nice to see when I walk in. I chose to add a black and white filter whilst editing because I wanted …
This is a close-up photo of the balloons my cousins on my mom’s side gifted me- that spell out my name. I really value this gift because it’s rare that I get to spend time with all of my cousins; we all live in different states. While photographing, I used a flashlight to further emphasize …
I took this photo during golden hour in my house. The sunlight was coming through a window, and I placed my hand in its path. As a result, the shadow of my hand looks like another hand reaching and touching fingertips. I used the Shade white balance setting, which intensified the golden color and introduced …
This is a photo of my family’s Western Redbud tree. I took this picture from a bird’s eye view because I like how the many little branches of the tree go in different directions, yet the main branches still lead the eye upwards. Overall, the photograph seems to stretch out and up to infinity in …
While choosing a subject matter for this prompt, I decided to venture down a more abstract route because I think that love is often undefined and subjective; the edges are blurry. The rainbow of different colors represents the emotions that influence love: blue/sad, red/passionate, green/envious, etc. The bokeh lights look almost ethereal, which could symbolize …
This photo contains glass pumpkins of different weights and colors, but I still wanted the photo to remain balanced. The pumpkin on the left is clearly larger and takes up almost the entirety of the left side of the frame while the pumpkin on the right is much smaller. However, the photo still has balance …
I took this picture at Cuesta park. I photographed 4 trees; two on the sides of the frame, and two crossing each other in the middle and extending to the corners of the picture. (The two trees crossing in the middle remind me of the In-N-Out palm trees). I think it’s really beautiful that nature …
