Viewpoint
Pictured here is Felicia filming for our ASB Battle of the Classes promotional video. Recently, with this project and of course my senior narrative both being in production, I have been taking many production shots. Showing both the camera and the action in a photo creates a really cool viewpoint for the audience.
Film Noir
Film noir is a concept I have studied for cinema, so it was interesting to research its applications in photography as well. It’s not a style that I particularly enjoy, but I recently began shooting film photography, so this challenge was a great opportunity to use one of my recent 35mm shots. This photo was…
Work
I have loved working on TEDxMVHS for the past three years! When I saw the prompt of the week was work, I immediately thought of all the hard work our TEDx team worked on our 2022 event. I took this photo in between running around organizing speakers and coordinating with other board members on the…
Color Theory
This photograph of my friend Eleanor (“Twigs” as her friends from camp call her, myself included) was taken on 35mm film. I just got a film camera for Christmas, so Twigs and I set out to take some pictures over the weekend. I love the colors in this image, specifically her hat and shirt, and…
Storms
For our first photoblog of 2022, we were challenged to photograph storms. There hasn’t been much crazy weather in the Bay Area, but it is ski season, which means herds of people driving up to Tahoe for the weekend. As a skier I am grateful for storms because they create beautiful powder days. I took…
The Elements
Of the elements, Earth, fire, water, and air, people that know me know that my favorite is definitely water. Growing up as a competitive swimmer who also loved the beach, water is my second home. But I figured I’ve posted enough photos of the ocean on this photoblog, so I decided to post this picture…
Rule of Odds
Float night: my favorite night of the year. It is MVHS tradition for each class to assemble their Homecoming float from start to finish in 4.5 hours the night before Homecoming. I captured the three subjects of this photo building the senior class float, a rocket ship. This photo symbolizes the spirit of float night.…
Seasons
As a Californian, I love traveling to places that have real seasons. I took this photo in February on our trip to Utah. It was the perfect season to visit the Utah National Parks because the snow and cold weather deterred many tourists and the trails were almost empty. And the white snow, in contrast…
Gratitude
“We’re happy to be here and ready to laugh again.” I am extremely grateful for the hard work of front line workers and scientists who helped us get through the pandemic. This photo was taken on my trip to Chicago in October. I was lucky to see a Second City show, one of my first…
Rule of Thirds Emotion
I love this photo because Dylan didn’t tell me he was planning on crowdsurfing. It was his turn to introduce himself for Homecoming court and as soon as I realized what he was doing I grabbed my camera and tried to snap a picture from the sound booth where I was working. This photo utilizes…
