Viewpoint

For this week, our challenge was to switch up our point. As individuals, we only see the world from our respective height. Sure, we can drive to the top of a mountain to get a higher view, but even then, we never reach the perspective that an ant or a bird for example would have. …

Film Noir

There was once a deal that was being done between two men. One was the infamous mob boss of the town, the other unbeknownst to his colleagues, a government official. The official had been working years on this case. To infiltrate the family, gather enough information to put him away for life, and get a …

The Elements

This week, for inspiration, we were prompted to take a photo on one of the elements: Earth, Fire, Wind, Rain, & Spirit. I chose Earth. Compositionally this is an extremely simplistic photo, yet I also find it to be beautiful. You have the sharp green of the grass of a weeks worth of rain. Then …

Rule of Odds

The Rule of Odds is essentially based upon the idea of placing an odd number of objects within the composition. As stated by Expert Photography, “When we need to process an even number of elements we tend to pair them up. This separates the whole image into pieces. But when the image is made up …

Seasons

Each season of the year tells a story of its own. Spring, everything is blooming. Summer, it’s smoking hot and full of beach days. Fall, the leaves start to fall and the rain approaches. And lastly, winter, it’s freezing cold, with more rain. And within each season, people across the planet have many stories to …

Gratitude

One of the things that I am most grateful for, is my car. My mom bought it right after I was born and ever since for the last 18 years, it’s been apart of my life. It’s taken me on road trips across the state, to hundreds of sports games, and I’ve shared so many …

Rule of Thirds Emotion

This week our objective was to take a photo using the rule of thirds that shows emotion. And of course, when you ask your friends to be a part of it and let them take a photo of you, it almost never goes well. Either one of us ends up laughing or they can’t take …

Color Without Color

The most color is always seen at the top of the hill with the sun shining bright and beautiful blue skies all around. For this week’s prompt, we had to take a “colorful photo” but in black and white. At first, this was a difficult prompt because if you take a photo of an object …

Who Inspires You?

Out of everyone in the world, my mom definitely inspires me the most. She is by far the most hard-working individual I have ever met and she has made sacrifice upon sacrifice for me. She runs her own software company from our home dealing with big name companies from all around the world, all while …

Fill the Frame

For me as a filmmaker, one who is also especially interested in cinematography, there are very few moments where I really fill the frame. Artistically, I’m more drawn to wide angle almost minimalist compositions that give the viewer the widest possible view of what’s around a character in that moment. So to have this assigned …
