    New Beginnings

    The inspiration for this photo was new beginnings, and I chose to take a picture of this beautiful flower I found in my back yard. I chose this flower because it was refreshing and pink, and the light was shining on it beautifully. As well you can see all the layers to the flower which shows all of the life in the flower. There are also buds that haven’t bloomed yet that show it is starting over and new.

    Hometown

    The assignment for this photo was to take a picture of something that reminds you of your hometown. Los Altos Hills is my home town I was born and raised here and never lived anywhere else. I am extremely lucky to live so close to this beautiful preserve that is just a walk away. I chose this place because it is somewhere I go to work out, take pictures, or just to sit and look at the view. The sunsets are the best here and I try to watch them every night from this view, sadly it was overcast when I took the photo, but you can still see its…

    Love Story

    This is an image of two of my good friends that I took while we were at the beach this weekend. I chose to take it from an angle almost from behind them so one could see the view that they are seeing. They have their arms around each other which visually portrays the love they have for each other. Showing the love story that they have as best friends. As well I applied a curves layer to the image to bring out the colors. This showed the difference in light on the right versus left side of the photo, enhancing the rule of thirds.

    Warmth

    This image tells a lot of stories and holds a lot of memories. The sunset from my vacation house in Discovery Bay, California. This is my family’s house where we go wakeboarding, tubing, kayaking, jet skiing, and paddle boarding. I always have a bunch of friends comes up in the summer, and we always have a blast. This represents warmth to me because I always feel warm and comforted being there and never fail to have a bad time. As well, it always usually gets pretty hot there in the summer but I love it in the winter too!

    Self-Portrait

    This image represents me for many reasons. I took this photo trying to portray the importance of simplicity, as that is something important to me. I chose a neutral color, white as the focus of this image. Something that really caught my eye was how I was able to capture the sun through the trees, and you can obviously tell where that is as it is very bright. This sun in the back represents me as I always try and see the best, or the “light” of any situation. As well, I chose to blur the background of my photo, only having the main flower focused in the front, as…
