The Elements

This shot is one of my favorite. It is of a car when it has been raining, showing the water droplets on the window. I messed around with the focus making it so the foreground and background are both blurred and the middle of the image was the clear part. This is definitely one of…

Low Angles

This is one of my favorite shots because of the color and focus that I created with a very small f-stop, low ISO and high shutter speed. This look is super cool especially with the droplets of water on it, because whenever I walk onto the grass and feel it being wet, this is the…

Color without Color

Basketball has been one of my favorite hobbies for a while. Whenever I feel stressed about things, or need a break, I can just go outside and shoot some hoops. During lunch I like to play basketball at my friends house, and when I have some free time, I try to go play wherever I…

Rule of Thirds:Emotion

This is a photo of my sister posing for the camera as I framed her in a way where she is two-thirds across the image. I also made it so her facial expression was the sharpest part of the image while the background and foreground are blurred, giving an emphasis to her emotion.

My Culture

This map was gifted to me from my grandma many years ago, and it has been in my room since then. Going to sleep every night when I was younger, I would memorize the countries and their capitals. I chose Europe because that is where all of my family is from, before moving to the…

Exit

This photo has a really cool effect to it because I actually turned the camera sideways and made the door at the end of the hallway sort of like and entrance/exit. The darkness from the f-stop also made it sort of creepy which was the end goal. I also like the lights on the top…

Geometry

I used the light on the roof of my house to make a cool effect, and then I realized that there is sort of a start shadow that is cast on it as a second part of the shape to the middle circle. I think this is cool because I always have seen these but…
