Viewpoint
I took this picture at the top of the Twin Peaks in San Francisco. Half and hour before this photo was taken, I had been exploring all the different areas of the city and it had felt so busy and exciting. I remember sitting at the top of the peaks and feeling much more relaxed and getting to see the city from a different view was so refreshing.
Long Shutter Speed Exposure
This picture was taken mid-movement, so there is a blur around the subjects. You can tell just by looking, that the subjects are moving fast, I like the long shutter since it added more energy and focus to the people.
Small vs. Large
With this photo, I decided to cut out the people and make an outline to draw more attention towards them. The blank background behind them wasn’t that interesting so I wanted to highlight the people.
Color Theory
I took this photo because the vibrant colors of both the flower bouquet and the drinks caught my eye
Silhouettes
This photo was taken at the MOMA Museum in San Francisco. This was during the freestyle field trip to the museum. There was an old man who had been enjoying “The Visitors” exhibit and I noticed how cool his silhouette looked in front of the screen.
The Elements
This is a photo I took at a park while I was playing guitar. It was the very start of winter before all the grass had died and I thought I would take a photo to capture how beautiful grass and flowers looked in the sun. When I want to go out in nature this is my favorite place to visit because of all the grass and trees.
Low Angle
This is a shot from a lower angle of my grandfather walking down stairs. Although it looks like a high angle, I was crouching down low when I took it. The leading lines and his hand works well to show where he is headed down the stairs. I think I captures the photo right as his hand was visible through the stair railings.
Color Without Color
This is a still from my short film that captures a woman magically transferred from the 50’s into the 20th century. Everything around her is color but she is left in black in white and her vintage wardrobe. Although this was hard to edit, I think it was worth it in the end.
