Composition

Frame within the Frame

Posted on May 30, 2026June 10, 2026 by jerryl

I was at a harbor when I saw a small boat drive around, and it was near where I was standing where there was a bench. I took advantage of this opportunity to use the bench as the “frame” of the photo to get this natural looking composition instead of using an artificial picture frame….

Viewpoint

Posted on February 28, 2026May 31, 2026 by jerryl

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…

Color Theory

Posted on January 31, 2026May 31, 2026 by jerryl

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…

Low Angles

Posted on December 31, 2025May 31, 2026 by jerryl

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….

Facial Symmetry

Posted on September 29, 2025May 31, 2026 by jerryl

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

Posted on May 29, 2025May 31, 2026 by jerryl

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…

Angles

Posted on April 19, 2025May 31, 2026 by jerryl

When it comes to angles, one of my favorite angles to shoot in, is the worm’s eye view, where the vanishing point is in the sky. I went online for some inspiration, and one of them that got my attention was the worm’s eye view photography for trees. When I was walking around, I saw…

Rule of Odds

Posted on March 28, 2025May 31, 2026 by jerryl

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

Posted on February 27, 2025May 31, 2026 by jerryl

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…

Center-Frame Portrait

Posted on January 24, 2025May 31, 2026 by jerryl

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…
