Reflection


This is a mirror I found in my grandma's bathroom. I took this for a roll on vintage things, and I'm not sure if this is vintage, but it sure does look like it. For this roll on vintage things, I was able to sepia tone my prints, making them look very old and actually vintage. I like this photo because of the detailing around the stem of the mirror and the visual effect of the angle of the mirror.

Tree Hugger


This photo was from my very first photography assignment. I love it because of the textures of the roots and the grass and the lighting that accentuates those textures.

Frog Crossing


This photo was taken for a roll on leading lines. I thought it was super cute because of the line of frogs leading up to the "frog crossing" sign. My grandma is in love with frogs, hence why they are here in my backyard.

Still Life


This photo is from a tray of perfumes that belongs to my grandma. I took this for a roll on still life. Still lives are described as being depictions of objects that cannot move on their own (ex. a rock), and I thought this was a great example. I also love the playful things you could do with the focus in this picture!

Vintage


This photo was taken for a roll on vintage things.  I couldn't find very many things around my house that we're actually vintage, so I decided I would do my best to try to make certain things look more vintage than they really were. I hope I have succeeded! 

Parker!


This is a photo of my friend Parker. It was taken for an assignment about hands and feet. Parker is super awesome.

Solarized


This is a picture of a tub of cookies and cream ice cream at Splendora's. Originally, this photo was regularly colored. The assignment was high contrast, and because of this I was able to develop my photos in Solarol. Solarol is a special chemical that makes a photo appear, like this one, sort of metallic and negative at the same time. This creates the effect you see in the photo above; this was originally a vanilla ice cream with dark, chocolatey cookie crumbs on top and throughout, but the Solarol gives it a whole different look.
