Double Portrait #1, Digital Inkjet Print, 13x17"
The thesis of my portfolio examines and nuances the relationship between “separate but equal,” symmetry, and balance. While on a recent a road trip to Hearst Castle the Supreme Court began hearing oral arguments over marriage equality. Later, as I was touring the mansion, I was struck by the Renaissance symmetry of the façade and the interior spaces. Hence, this body of work is an aesthetic response and investigation that seeks to create situations where similar entities attempt to be “equal.”

For this concentration, I focused on pollution in the oceans. I wanted to create a photo that would impact humans and show how pollution affects us personally. The photo is a "Sushi" roll made of plastic trash instead of fish. This represents that when people pollute the oceans the fish eat the plastic which is eventually eaten by humans. The purpose of this is to make a bigger impact since people don't solve problems unless it affects them personally. (For my reshoot I made the focal point sharper using a tripod and different settings)
Sample deck of a matching card game. Some people call it “concentration” others call it “mix & match”. I’m still not very good at it…
Sachsenhausen was a Nazi concentration camp in Oranienburg, Germany, used primarily for political prisoners from 1936 to the end of the Third Reich in May, 1945. After World War II, when Oranienburg was in the Soviet Occupation Zone, the structure was used as an NKVD special camp until 1950. The remaining buildings and grounds are now open to the public as a museum.

Hmmm, tongue out in concentration...must be genetic. I used to get teased for doing that during aerobics, yes, back in the 80's.
Concentration is the cluster of a certain feature in a confined area. This relates to my picture because the feature is my personal belongings (papers, Beats, etc.) and the area is my desk. As you can see this is a high concentration area, as many other high schoolers desks would be. If I cleaned the desk off it would significantly lower the concentration. However, if I kept the desk like this forever the concentration would grow until stuff is falling off the sides.
This photo has color interaction. The elements of vibrant graffiti contrast each other, like the red drop and blue iris from the white sclera. This piece was found at Murphy Ranch. When I came across it, I thought it was really pretty how vibrant it was and wanted an uptight shot that just encapsulates the tank being covered in art. I brought out more vibrance and contrast when editing. I wouldn't have come across this piece if I hadn't ventured off a little on my own away from my family. I climbed behind the main building at the compound and found this tank and quickly got the shot before I had to go back.
Stutthof was a Nazi German concentration camp established in a secluded, wet, and wooded area near the small town of Sztutowo (German: Stutthof) 34 km east of the city of Danzig in the former territory of the Free City of Danzig. The camp was set up around existing structures after the invasion of Poland in World War II, used for the imprisonment of Polish seditionists.
Stutthof was the first concentration camp set up outside German borders in World War II, in operation from 2 September 1939. It was also the last camp liberated by the Allies on 9 May 1945. It is estimated that between 63,000 and 65,000 prisoners of Stutthof concentration camp and its subcamps died as a result of murder, epidemics, extreme labour conditions, evacuations, and lack of medical help. Some 28,000 of them were Jews. In total, as many as 110,000 people were deported there in the course of the camp's existence.
The design principles in this photo are figure to ground and color interaction. Both show in the scary eyes and moon to make them pop out of the photo better. The most challenging part of this photo was editing the lighting on the girl thats coming from the moon. Like all my other concentration photos, it wasn't one and done, and I returned to it many times to fix and add details.
