Future

I’m excited about the future, but it holds a lot of mysteries. For this week’s final photo challenge, I tried to represent this hopeful uncertainty by photographing the light coming through a window. I look forward to eventually step out into the light and embrace the many changes that come with the future, but I …

Frame Within the Frame

For this photo challenge, I found natural “frames” within nature that helped to accentuate a photograph. In this photo of some trees, the darks background makes the brighter foreground stand out. Additionally, the sun’s rays coming from being a taller tree give the photo a spotlight effect of sorts that draws the eye to the …

Self-Portrait

In the original “self portrait” photo challenge at the beginning of my junior year, I chose to photograph a tree outside of my house that I felt represented me. Because of my love for nature and green being my favorite color, it worked well as a depiction of me. For this self portrait photograph a …

Food

This week’s photo challenge prompt was very broad: “food.” I chose to focus on a certain type of food that is very significant to me: sourdough bread. During the pandemic, my mom took up baking sourdough as a hobby and she continues to do so today. During my junior year, I did my documentary project …

Using Props

To make an interesting composition for this week’s photo challenge that used props, I took this picture of my sister holding a jar in front of her face. I liked the way her face distorted slightly and looked as if it were inside of the jar. I had a lot of fun experimenting with this …

Modern Convenience

I feel that the ultimate “modern convenience” that I could not live without is easy unlimited access to clean tap water. Although it’s a fairly basic need, clean water is something that not everyone in the world has access to. I thought that photographing this running faucet would help to convey that message. In Photoshop, …

Current Events

To represent this week’s prompt of “current events” I wanted to depict the stress and pressure that students often face at school. Because it’s the end of the quarter, I’ve been very busy with school work and thought this would work well with the promote because it’s something that I’m currently experiencing. I photographed my …

Deadly Sins

This week’s photo challenge prompt was to represent one of the deadly sins throughout photography. I chose to depict the sin of Gluttony. I photographed the inside door of my fridge, which contains various condiments. I think that yellows and greens are usually associated with feelings of disgust, often in food, so I felt that …

Musical

For this week’s challenge of “Musical”, I chose to photograph this piano in my house. The piano is such a classic instrument and is the first thing that many think of when prompted with the world “music.” Music has always been a big part of my life — from playing the flute to performing in …
