Future
Thinking about the future is scary. So instead of looking so far ahead, I focused this post on my immediate future. Last weekend we were able to visit camp Skylark Ranch for the first time since the fire. It was a moving experience and the future of the camp is looking bright. This summer I…
Frame Within the Frame
One thing consumed my life from January to March of senior year: the senior narrative. Not just creating my own film, but crewing on other films. One benefit of going to so many shoots was taking some really cool behind the scenes photos on set. I love how you can see the artistic set up…
Self-Portrait
My first photoblog at Freestyle was a self-portrait where we could not show our face. Now, as senior year is ending, we were assigned to revisit that prompt with the slight variation of showing how others view us. I think this picture is a good example of how people view me: an artistic person who…
Food
I love looking at food photography (it makes up most of my Instagram explore page), but when it comes to photographing food I just can’t seem to get it right. So instead of photographing only food, I decided to use this photo from the back to school tailgate at the beginning of the year. Food…
Using Props
I love spending my summers working with kids! I took this photo last summer of one of my swimming students during craft time. Although it’s not the most creative use of props, the mask this kid created was so cute!
Modern Convenience
Over spring break I travelled to Hawaii with my family. One day my family woke up early to watch the sunrise and I captured this beautiful photo. The modern convenience of traveling is something I am so grateful for.
Current Events
As a second semester senior with so much going on, I chose to focus my current events photoblog on the current events happening in my life. Over ski week, I went to Arnold with my friends and we had an amazing time relaxing and exploring. One of the highlights of the trip jumping into the…
Creative Staged + Depth of Field
Yet another photo from my Coney Island photo essay, this photo shows how to use staging and depth of field to create an interesting and engaging image.
Deadly Sins
Taking a photo inspired by one of the seven deadly sins (pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, greed and sloth) was very difficult. I ended up with this photo from when I helped plant new redwood trees at Camp Hidden Falls. Hidden Falls is another one of the GSNorcal camp sites. Although not in a negative…
Musical
I believe this picture really captures the intimate feeling of hanging out in the Freestyle studio with friends. Music is something that connects people, and I am grateful for the Freestyle studio and Freestyle friends like Megan.
