Composition

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…

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…

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….

This photo blog is one of the more interesting ones. My good friend Mason decided to be my subject for this facial symmetry photo blog. I took several pictures of his face, and edited the best looking one in Adobe Photoshop to make his face symmetrical. In the image above, you can see the comparison…

Geometry refers to geometric shapes like rectangles, or generally shapes with straight edges with corners. When it comes to geometry, I think about architecture, like the shapes of a building. For this geometry photo blog, I decided to take a worm’s eye view photo of a building in Mountain View High School. Then, I went…

When I was taking photos of my swim school for my documentary project, one of the photos I got was three yellow caution signs lined up next to the pool, evenly spaced out. This perfectly matched this photo blog prompt as there are three signs, an odd number. The original photo was slightly dark, so…

Negative space means leaving a blank area surrounding the main area of focus to give the viewer a place to “rest.” Negative space is important because it also tells the viewer where to pay attention to, as there is only emphasis to a certain part of an image. For this negative space photo, I wanted…

Our goal with this photo blog was to portray the feeling of loneliness through center frame composition. When I was doing the photoshoot for my Narrative Mise-En Scene Project, this was one of the photos that I took but never actually used. I felt like this was a perfect example because I had my classmate…

Here comes my favorite part: Getting to have a nice Chinese dumpling meal with my entire family. This Photo Blog of mine is about my favorite holiday: Chinese New Year. Every Chinese New Year, we get to eat a lot of food, and get red envelopes that wish us good luck. Since this Photo Blog…
