Color Without Color

This photo was taken at a Maisie Peters concert that I recently attended. In the original photo, there are vibrant, colorful lights all across the stage. The photo challenge for this week was to take a photo that showed a colorful story. Although I altered the colors to be grayscale, I still feel that the …

Who Inspires You

For this week’s photo challenge, the prompt was to take a photo of someone who inspires you. My mom is a very inspiration person in my life, so I decided to use a photo that I’d taken of her during the documentary project last year. I like how warm and welcoming this photo appears, and …

Fill the Frame

In this week’s challenge, I had to “fill the frame” of a photograph. I chose to do this with an interesting piece of art in my house. I really the colors and texture of this artwork, and I thought that it would make a good subject for this prompt. The piece itself is larger than …

Friends and Family

This week’s photo challenge prompt was to tell the story of friends or family through photography. I had taken this portrait of my sister over the summer when my family had gone up to Fallen Leaf Lake in South Lake Tahoe. The trip was a lot of fun and I brought my camera, so I …

My Habits

Side by side, it’s harder to tell the difference between the pictures, but when I was switching back …

My Culture

Growing up, Fallen Leaf Lake has always been a really special place for my family, and so I thought it would a good representation of my “culture” for this week’s prompt. I took this picture at sunset and focused the camera on the background and water, so the figures were in shadows and I’m really …

Exit

The final photo challenge of Junior year was to capture the idea of an “exit”, marking the end of an exiting year. Although this prompt is meant to represent the closing of one era, I also interpreted it as marking the entrance into a new one. The open door in the photo represents exiting one …

Geometry

To fulfill this week’s prompt of “Geometry”, I looked around my house for object or places that had repeating geometric patterns. When I saw these tiles in one of the bathrooms in my house, I knew that they would be the perfect thing to photograph. I really like how the tiles contain many different shades …

Freedom

For this week’s challenge, I needed to represent the idea of free through a photograph. One of the first things I thought of when brainstorming what to shoot was the the idea of the outside seeming much more free when you’re on the inside. Using this idea, I took a picture of a window where …
