Personal Work

For this project I went with a darker monochromatic color theme with mainly blacks or dark grays. Additionally, the theme for my items that I included in my work was everyday carries or objects that I am constantly using or messing with. The objects included; pens, a notepad, hat, headset, wallet, watch, small flashlight, knife, and Tesla lighter. Through this project as you may see with the bottom image, I was really able to play with and learn about differences with exposure and color themes.

The goal of this capture was to take in light through a small hole and lens of some sort of a blacked out window in my case. As the light and the image went through the lens, it flipped what we would see through out of the window. This was a very fun project as we learned about light, lenses, and distancing. As you would find the sweet spot between which lens to use, as well as distance from where you wanted your image to be projected on to. This would determine how clear of image you would be able to project in the end.

I took this photo as soon as I saw the statue. I thought it was the perfect subject while walking around Laguna Beach, California. The great vegetation to add subtle character but not enough to take away from the main subject.

As previously mentioned, I am intrigued by the idea of the vastness of nature and imagery that could be captured in one shot. I believe that with seasons, time of day, and positioning, you can take an endless amount of photos that will be completely different. You will have new colors, changes in environment, and my favorite is that you will be able to see things from a different point of view. My drone has allowed me to do exactly that by providing aerial photos and videos. With some of my landscape shots I try and fit in as much that you can into a photo. While on the other hand at times, I want to capture more while also having less going on in the photo
