Welcome to my photography page!

Movie Poster Recreation

For this project, we re-created famous Hollywood movie posters all on our own from scratch using photography assets. I posed and created the look of Rings, the sequel to the horror film The Ring with original photography in the studio and lots of photo manipulation tricks!

Back Lit Studio Series

This was a studio series I shot with Teka of Natasha and Keagan who were shadowing the program to join next year. In this shoot, we used high-angled LED panels and gels to create dramatic angled lights.

Vintage Photography Edit

For this project, we learned how to create more vintage film-like photography looks in Lightroom using editing techniques. This was my favorite vintage edit featuring Teka!

Classic Painting Photoshop Edit

For this project, we worked to recreate the lighting and poses of classic painting subjects to make our own painting recreations. I worked with Paige to recreate the American Gothic painting, and the results are hilarious!

Levitation Effect

For this project, we used Photoshop and photography techniques to create an impossible "levitation" effect as if we were floating in space!

Surrealist Edit

For this project, we used Photoshop to layer in many elements together to create a surrealist scene. I used a few assets from fantasy films with a photo from our studio to create this.

Adjustment Layer Edit

To get to know adjustment layers in Photoshop, we shot some photos where we could selectively edit parts of our photography in interesting ways!

studio Backdrop Explorations

For this project we used lighting on the same gray backdrop and change its color to white, black, and to have a colorful background of our choice using gels.

Portrait Photography

These are some favorite examples of my photography directed towards people subjects! Some are formal portraits and others are captured on location.

#STAYATHOME- COVID19 Quarantine Photo Essay

This project asked us to shoot a series of photos at home to respond to the "turbulent times" of the Coronavirus shutdowns. I shot my series about the idea of "makeshift" prom in the shutdown.

Painting with time

For this project we worked with a team in a pitch black room to shoot long exposures, allowing us to paint into the frame with light! We used absolutely no Photoshop editing to make these.

Shining Through- Clipping Mask Design

This project we practiced making masks with Photoshop. Here we got to try out clipping masks by making a design where images shined through text.

Layers and layers- Collage Edit

For this project, we learned the basics of masking and layering in photoshop by making a collage of dozens of images stitched together with a theme.

photo restoration

For this project we had to repair and manipulate old pictures to look modern and new. This was our first time trying out some of the healing brushes and color layering in Photoshop.

Attack of the clones Effect

This project was so much fun! I worked with my team and created the effect of having copies of myself interacting. We did this by taking multiple pictures and making sure the camera doesn't move at all, we clipped masks of ourselves and photo layering techniques.

watercolor effect

For this project we scanned original abstract watercolors to create a hybrid or photography and hand-drawn art.

sketch effect

For this project we used Photoshop layer techniques to turn a photo into a hand-drawn effect. The rest was a process of masking and setting up the scene to show it in a realistic way!

The double profile effect

For this project, we created an illusion to show our faces through an outline mask of our sideways profile, creating a really cool effect!

Frame of mind Manipulation Edit

For this project, we created an effect where a frame was incorporated into our photography and the photo popped out, showing parts of our image that could emerge out of the backdrop as Teka's hand does here!

Photo walk

This was our first project of the year! We got to know the basics of photography and shooting with DSLRs with this project where we captured three macro shots, two portraits, and one landscape around campus. These are my favorites from the shoot! I hope you enjoy!

Texture Photo Series

These are some photos I shot for a project that tasked us to capture macro and natural textures by framing our lighting and creating abstract patterns.

Pixel dispersion

Although I think I could redo this and make it much better, this draft is worth sharing. This project tasked us to create pixel dispersion effects using multiple layers manipulated in Photoshop with liquify effects and creative brush shapes.

Other Photography, Just for fun!

These are some photos I just took for fun!
