Serenity

By jehannahs

My personal view on serenity is when objects are inanimate and at peace. This flower continually lasts forever as it is fake. Although, acknowledging the flower every time I walk pass my window sill in my hallway, brings my mind at peace.

Rule of Odds

By jehannahs

The rule of odds (3 and 5) are important because it allows to have separate objects still feel and look included in a photo when they are facing each other or on the same plane. I chose 5 because even though 3 objects are centered on the camera, the “background” angels still feel like they…

Aging

By jehannahs

Aging is a process that can only occur with time. With that being said, 5 years has passed since I’ve sat on this chair and talked with my grandfather. I remember moments from when I was little, I always sat on this chair that swung gently during social gatherings. It’s been a long time since…

Golden Hour

By jehannahs

At first, I had no idea what golden hour truly meant and when it was. I had to first learn what time was necessary to capture the sunlight in it’s captivating cycle. Generally, golden hour is perceived to be one hour after sunrise or one hour before sunset. During sunrise, I take the car to…

Negative Space

By jehannahs

I’ve learned that negative space is often used a lot in photography to make an object or character seem smaller to create the emotion of being alone. Through this learning experience, I took a photo of 2 dead flowers with nothing but a heavily contrasting plain background, so that even when you squint your eyes,…

Shadow

By jehannahs

From my perspective, it looked as though the tree’s shade was a path that guided me into the water. It’s interesting to realize that water is a necessity for trees (forever) and as they start to grow from just a seed in the soil, they grow exceedingly tall and even shade the water sometimes. It…

Eyes

By jehannahs

Using a macro lens for the first time was a shock because it captured miniscule details of everything and especially of the face. I found inspiration with this photo because she seems to look off into the distance, shocked or confused at what she might be seeing. I must say, it definitely feels like she’s…

Center Frame Portrait

By jehannahs

Loneliness, which is a feeling that everyone experiences in a value of colors, words, or actions. I tried to capture loneliness by using a center framed composition to make the flower seem alone or off centered by depicting it’s parts into sections. For example, the other little petals in the middle of the photo is…

New Beginnings

By jehannahs

The prompt was “Our world is full of circular patterns; as some things end, others begin. Tell us a Story of a New Beginning.” I thought of this prompt immediately when I sought out this photo as it was on a circular surface at the end of the pole, but having a meaningful message that…

Water

By jehannahs

Anytime I go to a lake or pond, I always manage to find a bird, duck, goose, or any kind of animal that continuously swims as someone would in a swimming pool. I took notice of the way that the water rippled because it looks like the bird had made a huge motion that created…
