Welcome to my photo Portfolio!

Surrealism Edit

This project we worked on creating pieces of surrealism that used different layers and elements to represent something out of place in our reality.

Personal Photography

Stowe Field Trip

Our class went to Moss Glen Falls and some other sites in Stowe to photograph landscapes, portfolios, and macros. These were my favorite images I captured on that trip!

Landscape Series

To finalize our photography unit we finished off displaying some of our best skills in landscape photography.

Senior Photos

My friend requested I take her senior photos, and the final series showcases some strong portrait photography with editing and shallow depth of field.

astroPhotography Experiments

I worked with the concept of long exposures at home and took some photos in Marshfield to capture long lasting lights such as the stars, airplanes, and glowing sunlight.

MAcro Texture Photography

For this project, we shot macro photography to try and and capture textures in a tactile way For my photos, I tried to capture texture in a gritty and true way.

Four seasons Portrait Series

In this project we were given a subject and were told to represent the four seasons of Vermont in portraits using only props and lighting. Thank you to Jacob for being my subject!

The blockbuster- Movie Poster Recreation

For this project we took a movie from IMDB's top 100 movies and recreated the poster designs from scratch using all of our own photography and manipulations. You can see the side-by-side comparison of my design on the left with the original on the right!

neon Collage

As we started learning about Adobe Photoshop, we made custom collages by stitching together many images to create one concise image using new tricks like masking, layer modes, and opacity. My collage is based on neon lighting.

Adjustment Layer Photography

For this project, we learned how to use adjustment layers in Photoshop to edit just one part of an original photograph. For my adjustment layer, I used two photos I had taken at my home and changed the hue and saturation of selective parts of the image to create these effects.

Borrow a look- Preset Edits

For this project, we set up a series of presets and actions in Adobe Lightroom and explored some vintage film looks for our original photos.

Prop Effect

For this project we used several props ranging from photography balls, to glitter, to water and glycerin. I took this photo of Mr. B where the ball was completely black and Photoshopped his eye in from a different photo.

#STAYATHOME- COVID19 Quarantine Photo Essay

This project asked us to shoot photos at home to respond to the "turbulent times" of the Coronavirus shutdowns. I captured this photo to visualize the new reality of working from home, showcasing the mask, steam, and soft lighting of new home life.

Double Exposure Effect

For this project we used digital manipulation of all original photography to create the classic double exposure effect digitally using a clipping mask, creating an effect where we were becoming a part of the scene.

Levitation Effect

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

Photo Challenge- Communicate With Lighting

This challenge was to represent a photo that speaks excitement or mystery through lighting, and these were my submissions exploring this challenge.

Studio Lighting Compositions

For this project, we created some standard studio lighting compositions for portraits including the Butterfly, the 45 (or Rembrandt), a Split, a Split with Fill, and then some other experiments.

Experimental Studio Lighting Examples

For this project, we started experimenting with lighting effects in camera by manually manipulating light in a dark studio. These were all created in camera with no editing.

Pixel dispersion Effect

For this project, we created pixel dispersion effects using multiple layers manipulated in Photoshop with liquify effects and creative brush shapes.

Extrospection- Portrait Series

These were some of my favorite products when we worked on taking well composed portraits with shallow depth of field, soft lighting, and editing.

Watercolor Effect

For this project, we scanned original abstract watercolor paintings to create a hybrid of photography and hand-drawn art.

Middle Gray Backdrop Exploration

For this project, we used lighting on our middle gray backdrop to create multiple looks, including gray, pure white, pitch black, and gel coloring. All of these used the same background!

Frame of Mind- Photoshop Frame Technique

For this project, we created an effect where a frame was incorporated into our photography, showing parts of our images that could emerge out of the backdrop.

Painting With Light

For this project, I worked with a team in a pitch dark auditorium to experiment with light painting and long exposures. These effects were created by hand in camera with no Photoshop editing!

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!

Text Clipping Design

For this project, we got to know how to make clipping masks by making a design where images fit through letters in text.

GIFs Animation in Photoshop

For this project, we learned how to make GIF animations in Photoshop with series of photos in the timeline window.

Studio Lighting Compositions

For this project I worked with Micah and Aidan to create some standard portrait lighting compositions in the studio including the 45/Rembrandt, the Butterfly, the Split, and a creative setup (shown in order above!).

The Clone Effect

For this project, we created an effect as if we had many clones of ourselves in the frame by using masking and photo layering techniques.
