Bring Me the Horizon- Landscape Photography

These are some of my favorite landscapes shot for our cumulative project series to shoot landscapes at some favorite locations. To get these shots, we experimented with wide angle lenses, long exposure techniques, and more!

Extrospection- Portrait Work

These were some favorites from a cumulative project to shoot portraits on location. I used my siblings as subjects and posed them around Montpelier to create this series!

Seeing and Feeling-Macro Texture Photography

For this project, we explored macro photography by shooting abstract and metaphoric images of textures.

Attack of the Clones Manipulation

For this project, we used layering techniques to make this special effect to make it look like we had several clones in the same frame.

Snow Day

These were some photos I shot and submitted when we had a snow day for a class prompt about visualizing "Winter In Vermont!" I was able to get the Camel's Hump photo even while moving in a car, while the others involved careful focus and composition.

Seasons Through the Lens- Four Season Studio Portraits

For this project, we shot a series of portraits in the studio to showcase different looks and feelings that represented the four seasons in Vermont with winter, summer, spring, and fall. In addition to using props and costumes, we used lighting and framing to communicate the colors and feelings of each season in the studio. Thanks to Keagan for being my subject!

Double Profile- Face Manipulation Effect

For this project, we used Adobe Photoshop to combine a self-portrait photo of our face with another manipulated element which could have been edited in a creative way. For my double profile, I shot a portrait of Danny and used our Sketch Effect styles to combine a digital manipulation sketch effect with an original photograph.

Double Exposure Manipulation

For this project, we created our own versions of the classic photo manipulation effect known as a double exposure. Similar to what film photographers would do when they would shoot multiple photos on the same frame, we used Photoshop layering techniques to combine photographs together so that they used masking and opacity to show each other in an artistic and creative way. My double exposure combines a landscape I shot and a photo I shot in the studio of Hannah that captured the emotion I wanted this final piece to have.

Painting with Time- Light Painting Exploration

For this project, we used long exposures in a dark room to make light paintings. All of these were created in-camera without needing any editing in post.

Going Streaking- Directional Blur Edit

For this project, we utilized some of the blurring tools in Adobe Photoshop to create unique effects that balance blurred looks with crisp photographic looks. I used this shadow photo I had shot to showcase this prompt in a totally abstract and unique way.

Shining Through- Clipping Mask Text Design

For this project, we learned about clipping masks by designing text art with images shining through the letters. Mine uses various photography of a Northeastern winter through the text.

Flash Flash- Studio Lighting Experiments

For this project, I worked with a team to experiment with exposure tricks in the studio. We used long exposures to capture many effects including double exposures (where we shot multiple flashes to appear in different places across the frame) as well as using LED tubes to get crisp portraits with light trails by using a flash. These were created in camera and were not Photoshop’ed! Thanks to my team members Keagan and Julia for their help making this project!

The Sketch Effect

For this project, we learned about layer modes and how to use effects like blurring and the filter gallery to edit a photo to look like a sketch of ourselves; from there, we combined that sketch edit with another photo to make a scene as if we were being drawn in real life!

That Studio Life-Intro to Studio Photography

For this project, we got our first introduction to the studio by shooting portraits of each other using our Profoto studio flashes. I worked with Julia to shoot these.

Flash Flash-Studio Lighting Experiments

For this project, I worked with a team to experiment with exposure tricks in the studio. We used long exposures to capture many effects including double exposures (where we shot multiple flashes to appear in different places across the frame) as well as using LED tubes to get crisp portraits with light trails by using a flash. These were created in camera and were not Photoshop’ed. Thanks to my team members Julia and Keagan for their help making this project.

Prop Photography Experiments

For this project, we explored props that could be used to accent photography and perspective such as lens balls, prisms, lights, powder, letters, symbols, and more! I shot most of these around town with my sister Hannah.

Photo Challenge Submission

This homework assignment challenged us to take a photo of something we love in a way that represented why we loved it; I used lighting to accent a photo of my guitar to show my love for music.

That Studio Life- Intro to Studio Photography

For this project, we got our first introduction to the studio by shooting portraits of each other using our Profoto studio flashes. I worked with Braeden and Lily to shoot these! We'll be doing more studio photography soon!

The 3-2-1 Photo Walk

This was our first ever project. For this project, we walked around campus to explore the basics of DSLR photography by shooting 3 macro, 2 portrait, and 1 landscape compositions.

Bringing the Past Back to Life- Photo Restoration Edit

For this project, we used Photoshop healing and fixing tools like spot healers, content aware fill, and blurring tricks to recover blemishes on old photographs that have been affected by time. As a final step, we used special layer painting techniques to transform these old photographs into modern-looking color photographs. See my before/after work below!
