Low Angle

This was taken outside the Hoover Tower at Stanford. The tallest point on campus and one of the oldest. It was so tall that I could only capture the very peak of the tower so I thought it was best to present this as my “Low Angle” photo blog.

Rule of Thirds with Emotion

I tried to represent a stoic and calming emotion when capturing this photo, but I feel like this is more somber bordering on gothic. I liked how this turned out and it captured a really moody atmosphere.

Fill the Frame

This photo takes up the entire frame with the use of a Christmas tree. I shot this at night to get the glow of the lights.

Facial Symmetry

This is a painting of a self portrait I did. I thought that this would be an interesting and fun way to see the symmetry effect used on a painting. Since flipping a canvas is typically a strategy used to identify strange spots in a painting, it would be just as interesting to see a

Geometry

A nice trip to Stanford University’s campus allowed for some interesting interactions with the decor. As I found these amazing sphere sculptures around the engineering quad and I thought to take some photos.

Angles

For this blog I wanted to capture a unique view where I peered through the sandstone walls of the Stanford Quad and saw the scaffolding. This created an interesting angle to shoot as we can see the work being done on the already existing structure.

Rule of Odds

For this photo blog we had to take a photo of multiple of objects in the odds amount.I found that I could do this by focusing on one object but still having two more in the background just as it is in this photo with the lemons in my backyard.

Negative Space

I got the chance to use some lighting rigs and I loved the backlit kind of style that was portrayed here. I was able to carve out my face and body using these lights and it was a lot of fun to do it. This was one of my favorites and experimenting with the lights

Center Frame Portrait

This is the Hoover Tower, the highest point in all of Stanford and is a one of the oldest parts too. I took this photo for my Documentary Project but it didn’t make the cut but as a center frame portrait, I thought it was perfect.

Holiday Traditions

With this photo, I was completing the prompt of “Balance of Holiday Traditions” which I personally took as Christmas which I celebrate with my family. I specifically viewed the ornaments because that is my favorite part of the holiday which is decorating the tree with family.
