For this image I wanted to capture the stereotypical American culture. There is a barn with animals grazing in the grass in front. There is a wide open space of short vegetation, and everything has a golden feel. The sun is shining brightly casting its brilliant goal over everything. It Read more
My calmest and most peaceful moments are sitting there with my cat on my lap, and I think any image of a cat sitting still has a very serene effect. Here, my cat sits on a ledge observing the outside world, his tail tucked behind the window curtains. When producing Read more
The rule of odds is used to avoid boring symmetry. When an image is too perfectly balanced, it can be uncomfortable or uninteresting to look at. Instead, by making sure subjects are grouped in odd numbers, there is more interest and satisfaction in viewing an image. I used my blue Read more

Using the center frame portrait, I sought to capture the feeling of loneliness. Center frame portraits always guide the reader towards reading the emotions of the scene, as the subject is depicted directly in the middle. This image makes me look small, and I take up only a small space Read more
This week I sought to capture the concept of ‘New Beginnings’ through the use of circles and the infinite qualities they have. We know the railing of the winding staircase to be circular, yet the image is cut off where it continues downward. Thus it leaves us wanting to continue Read more
