I attended one of my school events where I helped to take lots of photos for their gallery. One of these photos I got was during breakfast, where there was a whole buffet of delicious bread, fruits, and desserts. I decided to get this photo in the point of view of a hungry student patiently…

Musical
This was one of the few photographs where I used my telephoto lens to get a detailed picture from far away. I went to one of my brother’s concerts and got many photos including close ups of many performers and some overall wider shots from far away. Originally, I was going to get a photo…
Color Theory
125mm, f/6.3, 1/200, ISO 2000 I had several images I took at San Francisco that I wanted to do some color grading for, but I decided to choose the Chinatown Subway Station. This station looked relatively new and also looks pretty futuristic compared to most American metro stations, so I wanted to color grade it…
Small vs. Large
This is a forced perspective photo that I took at the park near San Francisco International Airport. There’s a park nearby the airport where you could watch planes take off (see image below). My brother and I used the long camera lens to shoot some planes, and it was really cool to see them in…
Low Angles
I decided to take a risk by going in the middle of the street to get this low angle shot of the yellow lines heading towards the vanishing point. Luckily this street is not busy and there’s practically almost no cars at this time of the day, so I was able to pull it off….
Silhouettes
This is a silhouette photo of the neighborhood behind Imai Elementary School, the elementary school that I went to. I took this photo when it was cold and slightly raining outside, not the best time to do it, but a decently high photographic sensitivity and slower shutter speed helped emphasize the silhouettes of the trees…
Color Without Color
After we finished reading 1984 in our English Class, I took out all of my sticky note annotations so that I could return the book for the next person. I saw how colorful the pile of sticky notes were as I didn’t stick with a single color of sticky notes and decided to take a…
Gratitude
Something that I am grateful for is the huge amounts of food, juice, and sauces that my parents buy for me. These all sit in the closet under the stairs. While editing this photo in Adobe Photoshop, I added a warm tint to give the nice feeling of family and plentiness.
Who Inspires You
One of my friends who inspires me is Carl. He has a big sense of humor and is such a fun person for me to talk to. I was at the MVHS Homecoming Float build site, where I took photos of people building the float and then donate those photos to the yearbook team. During…
Friends
This is my group of friends at a solar car meeting. This looks like a normal photo of everyone just casually sitting at a table with their laptops open, but there is a deeper meaning behind this. All of my friends in this photo including me are into engineering and they are designing prototypes for…
