(Aperture=5.6, ISO=7.1, Shutter Speed= 1/50) For this weeks theme, I wanted to choose a picture of a Jellyfish I took.

(Aperture=5.6, ISO=7.1, Shutter Speed= 1/50) For my photo, I wanted to make it funny by making the main sin gluttony and portraying a horse as gluttonous, because they are always eating grass.

(Aperture=5.6, ISO=7.1, Shutter Speed= 1/50) While researching Film Noir, I noticed a lot of the photos had dramatic lighting with a large contrast between black and white. For this photo, I put my model in a chair in the studio and put one light on the side of her and turned the other light off….

(Aperture=1.6, ISO=250, Shutter Speed= 1/60) This was a self timer photo I took many years ago with my friend Tegan. It was taken in the dark as we were dancing and I remember being so happy in this time and I hope to take that happiness into the new year with me

(Aperture=1.6, ISO=250, Shutter Speed= 1/60) For this photo blog we had to shoot an image at a low angle. I was so excited because I love close up shots at weird perspectives. I found this beautiful and tall tree and squatted below it to get the lowest shot I could. I then edited the photo…
(Aperture=1.6, ISO=250, Shutter Speed= 1/60) This weeks photoblog theme was Silhouettes. While at the beach, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to take this photoblog.

(Aperture=1.6, ISO=250, Shutter Speed= 1/60) My cousin who lives in Brasil inspires me every day, as a genuine and kind human and as an artist.

(Aperture=1.6, ISO=250, Shutter Speed= 1/60) For this photo, I used my friend as a model and I used a camera as a prop. I put him center frame and angeled his face toward the camera.

When thinking of the word exit many things infiltrate your mind. A new accomplishment, a sad goodbye, a different opportunity, the unknown. I wanted to portray the feeling of exiting conceptually, with something that can be interpreted differently by each viewer: an eye. My subject’s eye can appear to be laughing, grinning, crying, fearful, etc….
