In my family’s music room, I have a mixing board that appears as a geometric array of circular knobs and rectangular buttons.

For this photograph, I wanted to take an angled picture of my hand playing a chord on the piano. Holding the camera at that weird angle in one hand made my hand shake a bit, creating some blurry pictures, but after several tries I managed to get a decent shot.

Recently, I took some photos in a small forest. I found this perfect spot to take a “negative space” picture, in which an unusual bird house is seen between two branches of a tree.

For this photo, I wanted to have a more “dramatic” type of lighting. However, when initially taking the photo, it felt a bit off:

I felt that my face was too dark and the lighting didn’t feel very moody. So, I went into photoshop to completely rework the lighting, and I am honestly pretty happy with this result! The overall process took longer than a normal photo blog should probably take, but I’m alright with that since I love the result.

For Christmas, uncle Steven made tamales for all of us, something that he does every year. When taking this picture, I made sure to use a warmer white balance to create a more “homey” feeling.

I decided to implement symmetry in this photo, I would take a picture with the water reflection. I went to a park with my parents while I was travelling, and this felt like the perfect spot.
