1) I shot this photo horizontally to capture as much of the flower as I could. I also wanted to make use of the organic lines and shapes that this flower conveys. The pattern that this flower makes leads the viewer's eye to the center of the flower.
2) The subject which is the green flower contrasts in hue against the pink flower in the background. I also created a shallow depth of field; this was because I shot in macro mode with a 3.4 f-stop.
3) There was very soft light on the flowers. I accomplished this by keeping the flowers near a window on a very cloudy day. The light is coming in from the right of this shadow. I wanted to demonstrate soft light while shooting extremely close.
4) I struggled to get a focused shot of this flower due to the lack of a tri-pod while shooting in macro mode. I compensated by setting my camera on top of a stack of books which placed the camera just above the subject. This was my first real macro shot I've ever tried to get so I had some issues getting only what I wanted to stay in focus. I shot in aperture priority mode and as stated above my aperture was at 3.5. My white balance was set to the cloudy setting because it was an overcast day and it gave me the truest color.
5) My mom is coming down for Easter this weekend so I went and got her a bouquet of flowers. After I purchased them I decided to use them for my macro shot which I was most excited for. Although these flowers are inside in a vase, the story behind this is "spring."
My new portfolio website is now on-line. This is the first website I've designed and built and I'm not shy to admit that it's been an intense learning curve. The site concentrates on my commercial work as a creative artworker with a smidgen of personal stuff. It's not all there yet but now that I'm free to concentrate on other work, I'm intending to update it with new projects regularly.

1) I shot this horizontally in order to capture the ongoing lines and patterns that the bricks create. There is also some tension formed from the more diagonal line where the brick meets the sidewalk. The size of the subject (shadow) was meant to be dominant in the frame but because it's a shadow you still see the pattern of the brick wall.
2) The texture created from the brick as well as the debris on the sidewalk gives a good sense of contrast from the subject. Considering it's a shadow, there's no real object in the foreground to create a sense of depth.
3) This shadow was created from very hard light. The light comes from the back or behind the camera and Evan who was posing to make the shadow. The hard light was necessary in order to make the shadow figure sharp.
4) My ISO was set to 80 due to the hard mid-day light from the sun. This also meant using a shutter speed of 1/1600th of a second. I set the white balance to the daylight setting to compensate for the harsh lighting.
5) This photo was taken during an in class assignment working with shadows. I went outside to find something to shoot and me and Evan ended up near this brick wall. I liked the value of the shadow against the brick wall. I asked Evan to strike a pose and this is what he gave me. I couldn't imagine a more appropriate and original pose for this shot. Thanks Evan!
1) I shot this photo horizontally to capture the majority of the pill bottle as well as maintain room for the leading line the pills form to the bottle of brandy in the background. My camera is positioned low, only a few inches from the bottle of pills to keep that the dominant object in the photo. I lined up my frame to match up with the bottle of brandy in the background.
2) The subject is the pill bottle. The contrast is the shallow depth of field created from the sharp, in focus bottle of pills to the decreasingly in focus pills as well as the out of focus bottle of brandy in the background which is only about 10-12 inches behind the bottle of pills. I also created contrast in color with the white pills and white background against the different hues of blue in the fabric. The blue also complements the orange from the pill bottle and the caramel color of the brandy.
3) Incandescent lighting is used to illuminate this photo. I created soft light by using a white sheet as a filter between the fixture and objects in the photo which is evident from the soft shadows. This also creates some warm tones in the orange from the container as well as the caramel color in the brandy bottle.
4) Getting the red and yellow sticker's words in focus was a challenge. This was due to the short focal length. I shot in aperture priority mode and I set my F-stop as low as it could go which was 3.4 to create the shallow depth of field. I set my white balance to tungsten mode; I usually determine this right away by looking in my viewfinder and seeing which mode gives me the truest white or black value. I let my camera take care of the ISO which was 400. My camera also took care of my shutter speed which was set to .4 seconds.
5) The poem I chose was:
The Staircase by Jessica Tietz:
My head was spinning
Here is where I woke
Completely in shock
Did this really just happen?
Jenna by my side
I think “wow must have been a good night.”
I cannot recall a thing
When she wakes she says “what the fuck happened…
Picture for the scrap book?”
That’s a definite yes!
I decided to shoot this even though I just had an alcohol related photo for last week’s assignment. When I read through the poems, this one inspired me the most. My interpretation of this photo was that of getting belligerently black out drunk. This can happen when you mix pain killers and booze.
I am planning to apply for an architecture course. Here is the first example for my portfolio. The happy expression from the lady on horseback says it all.
This is my portfolio layout technique, which I got from a friend of mine who is a pro in New York. In my case, I print 5.5x8 on 8.5x11 paper; simillarly, you could print 8x10 on 11x14 paper. With this technique, your horizontals and your vertical images are always the same size, and your viewer never has to turn the page sideways. Note that verticals have a nice margin around the edges, and horizontals have a nice half-inch margin on either side.
This particular portfolio is HFP Deluxe Clear System No.045, 60 pages, which I bought at Sam Flax New York. You can use similar portfolios from Itoya with fewer pages.
1. When composing this photo I was trying to capture the ice on the rocks and fallen tree. upstream from this spot about 3 feet is a giant piece of concrete that the water flows over, which was a distraction I choose to avoid. Also downstream there was a lot of garbage, so I chose to leave that out too. I shot horizontally to avoid both of these tragedies, and to bring more of the ice covered wood into the photo.
2. I used a slow shutter speed to show the moving water and to make the water bury to make the icicles and ice covered tree stand out.
3. This photo was taken under natural partial sunlight in the morning to create a soft light with a glare on the ice.
4. The hardest part about taking this photo was that the water was obviously very cold and the terrain was just a bit slippery and wet. I was very careful not to drop my camera or my backside into the water and actually had to jump across a treacherous cold gap to get the photo.
5. This photo was taken on a morning when the snow was melting and I wanted to capture the ice on top of the wood, as well as the flowing water to show the change of the seasons.
