This image was inspired by how shadows can be made into almost anything you want. On a wall you can tell a whole tale out of shadows, but none of it is real. In this image, one character threatens the other with a gun, but there is actually no danger involved. I did this image […]

Blog Post #23: Leading Lines
For this blog post, our goal was to use leading lines in food photography. This meal I made for myself when I was sick recently. The head pad, soup bowl and placemat all have lines all over them that lead to the center of the food which would be the soup and the soda behind […]
Blog Post #22: Stranger
For my image this blog post, we were instructed to tell the story of a stranger. I thought about the strangers in my daily life and I found that I most often interact with “strangers” through my device. Here I showed how we can be in contact with strangers yet we are still separated from […]
Blog Post #21: Serenity
I tried in this image to represent what serenity meant to me. The most serene and calm moments for me is when I am in nature, listening to music. I often will go on hikes or long walks with just music playing and allow my mind to wander. I tried to show this by surrounding […]
Blog Post #20: Rule of Odds
The goal of this photo was to show the usage of odd numbers of subjects in the image. I chose to take a photo of this bunch of blooming flowers in which there were only 3 that had actually bloomed. This looks better than it would have if there had only been two, and this […]
Blog Post #19: Aging
For my aging image, I decided I wanted to represent the scary and unknown that comes with getting older. Especially in your teen years, knowing that you are aging into a young adult, it can be really daunting and confusing. I thought that a good metaphor for it was taking a step and not knowing […]
Blog Post #18: #NoFilter
For this image, we were instructed to go out and take a photo that would be adequate without immense amounts of editing beyond basic corrections to exposure, etc. For this image, I thought that the aperture and natural color contrast made for a beautiful and interesting photo without a lot of effort in photoshop. In […]
Blog Post #17: Negative Space
For this image, we were told to compose an image with mainly negative space. To make the image interesting, I thought that the sunset within the negative space added splashes of color and vibrancy to still encapsulate the viewer’s attention. In photoshop, I changed some of the colors to be more vibrant and pronounced. In […]
Blog Post #16: Shadow
For this image, I was instructed to tell a story only using a shadow. For this, I decided that I could do the generic photo pose we all do, but rather than it being the photo we are used to, its twist was that it was merely a shadow. I used the grass to make […]
Blog Post #15: Anonymous
For this week’s blog post we were instructed to take an image that represented anonymity, however we may interpret it. To me, being anonymous means that you don’t show your true colors and who you truly are. So, for my image I took a backlit image of this brightly colored fruit growing from the tree, […]
