Center Frame Portrait

This week the challenge was to take a photo a center framed portrait that captured loneliness. When I thought of loneliness, a song from my Pre-School days came to mind. “O, Lonely Peas,” the tragic song about the peas being the last thing left on the singer’s plate. Using this as inspiration, I captured a …

New Beginnings

This week we were challenged to take a picture that told a story of New Beginnings. Giving that we just celebrated New Years, this prompt seemed fitting. Last year, there were many areas of my life that I slacked off in, and I always gave myself the same excuse: COVID. I told myself that after …

Beautiful Trash

This week we were challenged to make trash beautiful. When we were cooking, my sister decided to put on a makeshift avocado hairnet. This reminded me of when I was her age, and I would do just the same thing. Even though it is not necessarily the most beautiful hat, it is a beautiful thing …

Renaissance Style Composition

This week, we were challenged to take a photo inspired by the composition of renaissance paintings. With the help of my sister, I tried to recreate one of Botticelli’s most famous paintings. I thought that his work showed a lot of the key Renaissance styles. Just for fun, I placed the image into a filter …

Black and White

This week we were challenged to take a black and white photo. After a bit of reading and testing different things out, I realized that (in my opinion) the best black and white have very contrasting colors, so that it doesn’t all turn out gray. I loved the symmetry (in both directions) and the pop …

Leading Lines to Show ∞

Whenever I think of showing the concept of infinity, I think of movie theater bath rooms (random I know). When I was little, I remember thinking it was sooo amazing that if two mirrors faced each other, it looked like they reflected infinitely. In this image, I tried to show that same concept, using the …

A Love Story <3

Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf? Not your traditional love story. But for my parents, this is one of the many things that represent their love for each other. When my parents were in college, they dressed up as the Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood because my dad would play “Little Red Riding …

Weight in an Image

This week, we were challenged to photograph something that had to do with weight. I chose to do this butterfly balloon because it is so light, that it floats above everything else. So light, in fact, that if you let it go, it will float away entirely. I loved the colors that were bright and …

Symmetry in Landscapes

This week, we were challenged to find symmetry in landscapes. We learned that naturally, the human eye loves even, symmetry and that photos can become much more visually appealing if there is some symmetry involved. Even though the entire photo is not symmetrical, I chose to take this photo because I loved how sections of …
