Biography

Throughout my photography experience I have found out that I am skilled at straight photography. Taking things with the macro setting have come out the best in my opinion. I am also good at adding filters and changing the curves on Photoshop to bring out the color and contrasts better. Even though I lack a bit of ability when it comes to Photoshop and certain other photography projects I enjoy it and find that I am fairly skilled at taking pictures, especially when the environment is organic like a flower or a plant.

Hybrid: Portraits

This was done by taking two images and combining them into one, still seeing features of both.

Shapes: Seasons

This was done by taking a picture of the same tree in the summer then in the winter. The winter tree is the background picture and using Photoshop the summer tree was able to be shown in different geometric shapes throughout the picture.

Panorama

A Panorama is a setting on cameras that allows you to take pictures that are longer than if on a normal camera setting. This being said you could also take vertical panos. Then with Photoshop you can make the pano round leading it to look like a planet.

Shapes: Silhouette

These pictures were taking in sunrise at a window that faced the sun and captured the outline in black of the person standing in front of it being able to capture pictures that spell out the word "Enjoy" and pictures that display mood.

Color: Portraits

Like many of the previous projects these pictures were taken in the dark with colored light instead of white light. It colored the picture making an interesting impact upon the picture. The other pictures are Values: Portrait pictures that have been overlaid with pictures of paint in the sink.

Sun Burst/ Shadows

While the sun is rising is the best time to take these kinds of shots. When the camera is pointed at an object that is also facing the sun it causes sun rays to show up when the picture is taken creating the sun burst effect. During this time you can also see bold shadows making it easy to manipulate them and take picture of them as well.
