Movie Poster Recreation

For this project, we recreated the look of famous movie posters using all of our own assets. I was able to make the design above combining dozens of photos of classmates posing as the actors as well as some drone photography from my classmate Ben to create the twisted dream cityscape look of the original Inception poster!

Dandy Dandelion - Macro Shot

Here is a macro shot of a dandelion I saw in the forest. This is by far one of my favorite macros I've captured.

Unlimited Possibility - Frame Edit

This was a Photoshop project we worked on in class where we tried to create the look of a 3D frame within our image. I personally like this photo because of the multiple angles captured. If you look closely, although the light post fits the same angle, the added frame breaks the continued shape of my subjects.

Four Seasons - Portrait series

This was a series we shot in the studio using props, lighting, and costumes to create the look of all four seasons with a single subject. Thanks to Teka for being my subject and helping make these!

Always Going Forward - Landscape

This was a photo I shot for a composition series to create standard photo composition types- this was my submission for Leading Lines.

"Whisper" - Photography Challenge

This was my submission for one of our photography challenges to make a photo that "whispers." I thought the dark moody lighting and still setting of Church Street on a rainy night fit the theme perfectly.

Faded - Portrait Effect

This was a Photoshop project we worked on in class to create a pixel dispersion effect. This was one of my favorites so far to create.

Levitation Effect

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

#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 envisioning the new everyday habits we are now being forced to adopt from home.

Studio Backdrop Exploration

This was a series I shot with Jacob and Hannah where we used lighting techniques on a middle gray backdrop to create the look of white, black, color, and gray backdrops in a studio portrait session.

Looking Glass - Prop Effect

This was my favorite from a series of photos we shot using props in unconventional ways; this photo really clearly shows the reflective nature of a camera lens.

Classic Painting Recreation

For this project I worked with Aidan and Kent to do an epic recreation by swapping our whole class into DaVinci's Last Supper painting. We worked together to edit the image with photos matching the lighting and pose in the studio. The biggest challenge was to use their faces to replace the original paintings faces.

REflections - Car Photography

These were some cool night shots I got of my Mini Cooper. I really like how crisp the water droplets are!

Leaf - Landscape

A little backstory behind this picture: I took the photo by complete accident. I briefly looked at the photo and thought "this doesn't look good." Something prevented me from deleting it on the spot so when I exported it to the computer, the photo really grew on me.

Double Profile Effect

This was a unique effect we made in class where we masked out a profile picture with a sideways facing profile to create a "double profile."

Perspective - Portrait Series

I really enjoyed taking these portraits because of the creative concepts and the extra details added. It shows you the perspective of the other side of that camera lens and also how you don't have to take your average portrait shot.

Cityscape - Landscape

When I took a trip down to Manhattan, I spent some time exploring with cityscape photography with creative angles looking up. This was my favorite out of all of the photos I took because of how nature creates a frame around the metro environment.

Surrealist Edit

For this project, we created surrealist visuals by combining several images and editing creatively to create abstract visuals. I decided to go for a very Grime style of art for this project. I also added one of the photos I took of Church Street and made it into a Kaleidoscope effect with reflections.

Watercolor Effect

For this project, we scanned in some original abstract watercolors and merged them with portrait photos to create this unique effect.

Photo Restoration Edit

For this project, we got some old photos that were destroyed by time, water damage, and old photo errors. Using Photoshop, we manually restored them to modern color photos using healing brushes, color layers, and more!

Milky Way - Starscape

This was my first ever attempt at Astrophotography! To shoot this, I used a tripod and long exposure to bring out the details of the stars and the milky way in a way our naked eyes cannot. I'm very happy with the way it turned out.

Sketch Effect

For this effect, we used Photoshop to create the illusion of a pencil-sketched image with layer modes and blending tools. Then we shot photos to composite the effect into; and I made mine as if someone were making rude graffiti doodles about me.

Other Macro Photos

These are some other macro photographs I shot between various projects. In many of these macros, I tried to capture texture using lighting. In other photos, I used editing to create unique looks and balances.

Light Painting Experiments

I worked with Theo to shoot some long exposure light paintings in the auditorium with all of the lights off. Using some string lights we made these effects all in camera!

*Bonus* 26 Unsolicited Photos of Aidan

These are purposely bad photos to show that you don't need a good photo to show what peak performance looks like.
