Tell a Lie

This week’s photo challenge prompt was to “tell a lie” through a picture. To complete this prompt, I photographed my sister taking a photo of herself on her phone. It’s slightly hard to tell, but she has Snapchat open on her phone, and is open to where the filters are. I felt that through the …

Serenity

To represent this weeks photo challenge of “serenity”, I took this picture of light coming through the trees while I was in the woods on a trip. This was a very peaceful place, and I feel that this photo captures that essence quite well. The cool monochrome green color scheme lends itself nicely to feeling …

#NoFilter

For the photo challenge this week, we had to take a picture of anything we wanted to, but could not use any filters or presets to edit. This past week, I spent time in Los Angeles, and while my family was driving during sunset one evening, I took this picture. Even without any editing, the …

Although this wasn’t necessarily trash, I felt that they still represented something …

White Balance

The prompt for this weeks’ challenge was to take a photo and change the white balance to affect the colors. I chose to photograph the ocean and use the change in white balance to emphasize the blue tones. In reality, the sky was a lot less vibrantly blue and the waves were a much more …

Weight or Mass

This week’s prompt had us express weight or mass through the use of dark and light colors. When something is darker, it appears to be heavier, and when it’s brighter, it seems lighter. I applied this idea when photographing this piano. The darker keys seem much heavier and look like they have more mass compared …

Mood

The mood I tried to demonstrate through this photo was feeling stress while trying to act fine all the time. The main subject of the photo is this little cat with a happy smile on its face. However, it’s surrounded by open textbooks and homework assignments. This really resonates with me, because as much as …
