Center Frame Portrait
I love the depth of field in this photo because you can tell we are in Zion but all the focus is on the subject of the portrait, my friend Hailey.
New Beginnings
I took this picture while I was location scouting for film class. I needed to see if Redwood Grove would work as a forest location for my narrative film, and I went minutes after it had rained. The result was beautiful light patterns and green plants everywhere. It also ended up being an amazing filming…
Trash
While driving through Hurricane, Utah, a small town outside of Zion National Park, I noticed how gorgeous the scenery was. Although it is not “trash”, this photo recognizes beauty in unexpected places, so I thought it would be perfect for this prompt.
Accidental Renaissance
Welcome to Mia completing three months worth of photoblogs in one day! The date may say this was posted in December, but really it is February and I am just catching up on my winter photoblogs. Luckily, I brought my camera with me to Zion over February break and made sure to take some amazing…
Hometown
I love this photo I took at Baker Beach in San Fransisco, California because it is so rare to be able to see the full Golden Gate Bridge through the usual fog of the city. This represents my hometown, which is more broadly the Bay Area. Although I live outside of SF, I feel very…
Black and White
This photo of the Brooklyn Bridge was taken on a trip to New York City last summer, and I love how the architecture of the bridge is highlighted more because it is in black and white.
Leading Lines
I love the light I captured in this picture that was taken around golden hour at Yosemite National Park. The leading line that the river creates draws the eye to the mountain, as we naturally follow its curved path. The reflection of the scenery that is visible in the river really completes this photo for…
Love Story
As soon as I saw this week’s photoblog prompt I thought of the photo essay I created in summer 2019 from Coney Island for my photojournalism class. My theme for the essay was “twos”, and I photographed couples, children, and other pairs that I found in the amusement park. I love this picture because I…
Weight or Mass
This image makes me think of weight or mass because of how deserted the Jeep looks next to the towering mountains and how it is surrounded by nothing but sand. It shows how everything, no matter how big, is insignificant compared to the Earth. I took this photo on a trip to Kauai, Hawaii. I…
Landscape Symmetry
When I was hanging out on the Stanford Campus I noticed how symmetrical the hallways and landscaping were. For the landscape symmetry assignment, I photographed this Stanford hallway. The lights in the center mark a line of symmetry and the hallway walls provide leading lines.
