Negative Space

The top left photo is a picture of Marco’s grilled chicken Chick-Fil-A sandwich in front of beautiful scenery. This demonstrates the beauty of the sandwich as it coexists with nature’s beauty. The top right photo is Marco flaunting his power over his massive empire he has developed in California over multiple centuries. In the bottom …

Shadow

I went on an adventure with my buddy Marco. He had just gone to the gym and Chick-Fil-A and asked our group chat “Stock brokers possibly” if anyone wanted to hike. I had to get these photo blogs done so I told him I would go on a hike. We ended up walking around the …

Eye

For this assignment, we needed to use a rare lens that only design students possess (aka the macro lens). And so, I embarked on an adventure to secure a macro lens from my neighbor who happens to be a design student. I obtained the lens after an intense fight to the death and proceeded to …

Center Frame Portrait

For this center frame portrait, I took a Totoro stuffed animal from my desk and placed him amongst the trees. I did this because, in the film, Totoro lives in a giant tree, so I thought I could do the same with a stuffed animal. This image works best with Totoro in the center because …

New Beginnings

I chose this image for our prompt “New Beginnings” because, before today, this desk was very messy. However, I cleaned it today and am now going to try and maintain a clean and organized workspace for the rest of the semester. This is a new beginning for me as I am trying to be more …

Water

As the title suggests, this photo blog was supposed to be of water. It was a perfect day to work on this assignment as it was a rainy day. After the rain cleared out a bit, I went outside and looked for leaves and plants that had captured water droplets. The photo I took was …

Balance in Holiday Traditions

For this holiday-themed photo, I took a picture of our Christmas display near our front door. The blocks are a staple of this table year round, however, right now they say “holidays together” which my dad assembled since our family is reunited for Christmas break. The knitted trees on the right are products of my …

Speed Light Shots

For this assignment, we attached our speed lite (flash) to our DSLR cameras to see how the different positioning/method of the speed lite affects a photo. In the top left, I pointed the speed lite directly at Elmo which resulted in a very direct and bright flash. In the top right, I had the speed …

White Balance

The only difference between these photos is a change in the “white balance” setting on the camera. The photo on the left is the standard/original photo which is typically the “daylight” white balance setting. This setting resulted in a warmer and more natural coloring of both baby yoda and the grass. In contrast, the photo …

Leading Lines

In this image, I used the compositional technique “leading lines” to help direct the focus of the image towards my subject. For this image, I used the lines on my walls in a way that the middle line brings attention to the snowman in the middle. This photo demonstrates more of a direct way to …
