The assignment was to use geometry in our photo. To do this , I centered the geometrical shape of the circle that is my camera, in the center of the screen and took a picture in a car mirror. The geometry of the circle in the middle of the rectangle image gives the viewer a focal point and gives a strong subject to the image
The assignment was to represent the idea that every exit is an entrance to somewhere else. I chose to use a door because it is a simple but powerful symbol of transition and change. Every time someone walks through a door, they leave one space behind and enter a new one. Whether it is moving from one room to another, starting a new chapter in life, or taking a step into the unknown, a door represents both an ending and a beginning at the same time.
In my piece, I used light shining through the doorway to symbolize hope, opportunity, and new beginnings. The light suggests that something positive exists beyond the door, even if the viewer cannot fully see what is on the other side. This creates a sense of curiosity and possibility. I wanted the image to communicate that while leaving something familiar can sometimes feel uncertain or difficult, it can also lead to growth, new experiences, and exciting opportunities. The doorway becomes a visual reminder that every ending creates the chance for a new beginning.
The assignment was to use angles to compose the shot, using the rule of thirds I lined up the spider web. The spider web is a pretty perfect triangle, lining it up with the line and having it be on the very left third was my composition. It was very difficult to find angles that weren’t simple like straight lines around the area I was shooting, but I am happy with how this turned out.
The assignment was to tell the story of a stranger through a photograph. A single fish drifts slowly through the aquarium, its movements calm but aimless as it circles the glass walls. The water is clear, yet empty. Light filters down from above, reflecting off its scales and casting faint ripples along the tank, but the space still feels confined and quiet. Every turn brings it back to the same corners, the same boundaries, as if there is nowhere else to go. In the stillness of the tank, the fish seems alone in its own small world, surrounded by space yet separated from anything beyond it.
The assigment was to take a photo to represent aging in a single photograph. For me childhood, was about food, Wingstop was a place I loved to go as a kid. The shining of the word “Wing” represents the beauty of once was. While, the stop represents the current state of my life, aged, older, and dark. Also, the fading sunset represents the fact that we all are aging slowly, waiting for darkness.
The prompt for this month was to define serenity in my own terms. Serenity means to be calm and peaceful. Standing still, is the meaning of that in my definition. When im standing still, I know im calm. Therefore this is shown in the image of my feet when Im standing still.
The shadows of the tree captured in this image, leaning over the walkway represent the feeling of someone watching over you or controlling you. The tall trees, with the sort of fake persona of the shadow represents the feeling of academic pressure from family before you. This image was also taken at school, wich helps specify the academic pressure in particular.
The negative space in this photo is the entire wall on the top 2/3 of the image. The white space, creates emphasis on the bike in the bottom area. The negative space is this photo create drama and highlights the effect of sadness that the black and white filter gives.
The image shows a single light positioned in the center, surrounded by darkness. With no other objects or sources of light nearby, the glow stands alone, drawing all attention to its isolation. The emptiness around it feels vast and silent, making the light seem small and distant despite being the focal point. This stark contrast between brightness and darkness creates a strong sense of loneliness, as if the light is cut off from everything else. It appears to exist in its own separate space, reflecting the feeling of being alone with no connection or companionship.
The quiet, empty garage at night represents an ending—something has been left behind, and the stillness reflects that pause. Within this darkness, the single light turning on breaks the cycle, symbolizing the shift where one phase ends and another begins. The light itself becomes the clearest sign of a new beginning, suggesting hope, renewal, and the idea that even in forgotten or silent spaces, something new can start again.
