    film noir

    1/200 f4.5 ISO160 This photo of my friend Yannick was originally taken around sunset, and the gray scale effect I added helped bring out the lighter back ground, and brought out the detailing in the outfit.

    Small vs Large

    1/150 f4.5 ISO160 This image was taken with my camera while I was on a stroll through Stanford and I saw a house nestled in between the trees. The surrounding trees were so large it was hard to spot the house at first glance. Throughout my entire time living close to Stanford I never noticed the quaint house,

    1/150 f6.0 ISO200 . I uploaded this original image into Photoshop and used color grading to make the mundane colors appear more luminous and bright, I thought this photo was exceptionally interesting because of the natural star that is in one of the tomatoes, using color grading the natural shape was easy to find.

    long shutter speed exposure

    1/10 f4.5 ISO160 This photo was taken by setting up my camera on a tripod and doing a series of poses with my gorgeous friend Whitney to capture our movement and the cute outfits we had on. By using a long shutter exposure the movements were carried out as there was more time elapsed to when the picture was actually taken.

    color without color

    1.6, ISO 500, 1/30 I made this piece of artwork after I came back from the hospital due to health concerns, this piece was a reflection on how much time I had to spend recovering, due to the amount of time spent on details. I feel like this piece can be seen as having color even though none is there because the details pop out to you and cause you eyes to move about the page.

    friends and family

    1.6, ISO 120, 1/300 On a very nice Saturday morning, my friends and I decided to go to Redondo Beach and have a nice picnic in Half Moon Bay, the walk down and back up was not made for the weak so as I was scaling down the mountain at a slower pace than my friends I decided to pull out my camera and snap a nice photo of them and the ocean in the background.

    2.4, ISO 100, 1/250 At one of my friend Sadie’s house, her dog comes to greet us from the second-story balcony and manages to stick her little face perfectly between the bar and the cement, but just not enough to get it through, I thought capturing her with my DSLR would be a great opportunity for this assignment.

    Who inspires you

    1.6, ISO 120, 1/300 Something that largely inspires me is the cats that live in my area who always come out when I least expect them, they inspire me to go outside and give me company on my long walks. Although most of them aren’t stray they still feel like cats that live primarily outside and remind me of when I was a kid and spent all of my time outside playing, no matter the weather conditions. So when I feel tired, scared, or sad I will still be motivated to go exercise and see the cats.

    reflection

    1/470, f/2.4, ISO 25 There are many cool ways to capture reflections, although water is by far the easiest and most visually appealing in my opinion. One way I captured this reflection was by focusing on the rich saturated color of green that is near the trees which are closest to the surface. It almost makes the water glow, this picture was taken at Foothills Park in Los Altos Hills.

    facial symmetry

    1/60, f/2.6, ISO 80 This project was really fun and simple to create, I got a perfect photo to use of my friend Owen before our football game when I brought my camera to take pictures of the crowd. I simply used my selection tool in Photoshop and reflected the selected area and reflected it horizontally on Photoshop to display the symmetry.
