Volleyball Self-Portrait with Flower Background
50 mm, f9, ISO 500, 1/100

In this self portrait, I showcase my passion for volleyball and appreciation for nature. I thought about different ways I could take a self portrait that can express my love for volleyball while not showing my face. I found that the ball covering my face would be the best idea for this prompt. Although the flowers serve as a good background, I also wanted to show the flowers that my grandma planted in our front yard when I was little. These flowers are one of the first things that catches your attention when walking up to my front door, drawing the eye with the vibrant pinks and reds in the petals. The flowers help to serve as an everyday reminder of how my grandma brightened the lives of many and continues to provide beauty to my life.
