Creative Staged + Depth of Field

This is a picture of the lights that are on our outside porch. They always light up the outdoors of our home. They provide warmth when I have friends over, when I am chillin go outside in the hot tub, or when I read outside in the comfort chairs.

Viewpoint

This photo was definitely unique because of the alternative perspective of the water fountain and the model drinking. You generally don’t see from below the fountain as the main subject is on top where you get the water from. I also used a wider lens and upward angle to make it more abstract.

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…

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.

This seemed to be an interesting angle that captured one of my daily routines of brushing my teeth and flossing. I also like how I included the sink to add sort of an “Easter Egg.” I also like how the angle makes it seem like a downward slope even though it is really flat.

Rule of Odds

This was something that was just sitting here from a history project that I have been working on so I quickly grabbed the camera and took the photo as is.

Negative Space

I utilized a computer screen that was turned off to create a extremely black background so that all of the attention would be focused on the pencil in the middle. I also like the juxtaposition of the colors between the brightness of the orange and the grey part of the pencil that kind of looks…

Center Frame Portrait

I this setup was really cool because I utilized this crack in my table that helped me prop up the card and add some effect. I also lowered the f-stop and got in close to the card to add the blur in the background to bring out the Center Frame effect even more.

Balance in Holiday Traditions

One holiday tradition is baking in my family, which often consists of lots of messes and delicious smelling treats in our house. My mom loves to bake, and then we hand them out to all of our family and friends. Today, I made meringues with left over egg whites because my dad made Carbonara which…
