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!
For this project, we designed our own collages with dozens of layers that we selected, masked, and arranged using layering in Photoshop. My collage is about all of my the Tim Burton movies that I have seen and loved!
For this project, we explored macro photography by shooting abstract and metaphoric images of textures. Each photo has a unique name to add the atmosphere of it!
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 the prompt to explore blurring looks with this self-portrait I had shot.
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.
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 Blue, Elias, Senait and Aaliyah!
For this project, we experimented with lighting on a middle gray paper backdrop to make several different looks the middle gray. We used gels to add color to the gray backdrop and angled lights to position the backdrop as black, white, or gray.
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. In addition to using props and costumes, we used lighting to communicate the colors and feelings of each season in the studio.
For this project, we researched famous movie poster designs and recreated them from scratch with ourselves as the main subjects. Although some assets were imported and credited, we shot all the photography and created our own traditional movie credit text so that we could be the stars of the film! For my poster, I recreated the design for Edward Scissorhands, with help from Blue as we acted out the parts in the studio!
Beyond our class projects, these are some of my latest favorite photographs I've shot and edited.
