Photographing food is hard, especially while you are hungry. Tis quiche was one of the best i’ve ever had in my life. Obviously I couldn’t resist taking a bite before the photo. Ironically, it adds some nice leading lines and makes the picture more intriguing.
The rule of odds teaches you that a subject should be in section 1/3, or 3/3. I captured this photo of a group of friends walking in San Francisco. which hits the first third of the photograph.
In this photo, I used negative space to capture and highlight the bell as well as my dad walking under it. There isn’t much else going on in the photo so the use of that negative space, as well as utilizing the rule of thirds, really highlights the aspects of the photo that I want. Additionally, the circular swirl in the ground adds dimension to the photo.
This post was drawing attention to one particular object. In this case, I was highlighting the “NO PARKING” signs in this parking lot. I created this effect by moving the camera while taking the shot, showcasing a blurring outcome in the photo. Because the signs are light reflecting and the picture was taken in the dead of night, they are the only things in the photo that did not come out blurred.
My photograph required very little editing. The only thing I did to it was adjust the curves, as well as the brightness and contrast in the piece. “No Parking” is part of my Rain Collection.
This photo is a prime example of balance because of it’s symmetrical lines on either side of the door. The different grafiti art that is painted on either side doesn’t allow it to be completely symmetrical, however the pops of yellow on either side create the illusion of balance.
This photo was in a mirrored building in New York. The walls and floors were made of reflected glass, creating the illusion of a never ending room. I took this picture on the third floor, leaning over the ledge of this large repeating hole in the floor that repeating down through all the stories. This picture uses leading lines to help make it seem like an infinite building.
This picture shows symmetry in every day life. I took this picture on my way to work, and the colors were enchanting. The symmetry of the cars and trees make the picture symmetrical and visually pleasing.
I took this photo at an old motel next to my friends house. I’ve drove down the street over a hundred times but have never noticed the building, which was so strange, almost as if it popped up out of nowhere. In somewhere as high tech and modern as Silicon Valley, these buildings are rare, but hold so many stories within them.
