milo rathbun – Composition In this photoblog, I was tasked with framing my subject using natural surroundings. Since I often use people as my subjects I saw this modern looking stool and decided to photograph it. I moved everything around the stool and I moved it so that it was sort of between the two cabinets behind it almost making a “frame” for it.

milo rathbun – story telling In this photoblog, I was tasked with taking a self portrait in a creative pose that shows how others see me. I took this while driving in the Santa Barbara hills with my friend Zachary. We found an old water tower and I hoped on it.

milo rathbun – composition In this photoblog, I was tasked with creatively taking a photo using props. I decided I wanted to use this cool lamp on my desk as my prop. I have cool paintings around my house that my family and brother made so I staged the light in front for two reasons. First I wanted the cool lighting it would provide. And second I wanted to blur it out and use it in the foreground to make … Continue reading “Photo blog #50: Using Props”

MILO RATHBUN – INSPIRATION In this photoblog, I was tasked with taking a photo that tells a story of a current event. I took this photo when my high school soccer team won their CCS championship tournament and the fans stormed the field. I really like this photo because of the amount of emotion it captures.

In order to incorporate depth of field and my subject, Miguel, in the shot. I found this cool plant that hung over the pathway and I decided to use it as my focal point. I had Miguel move really far back and start walking toward … Continue reading “Photo blog #47: Creative Staged + Depth of Field”

I happened to be at a friend’s house with this big speaker and so I began to think of ways that I could use this to capture a cool moment. I framed the photo with one person on the right side parallel to the speaker and one hand almost picking the speaker itself up. After I had the framing right I took the photo in … Continue reading “Photo blog #45: Musical”
