My name is Brandon Tanaka, and I am born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. I am a senior in high school and I attend Mid-Pacific Institute. I started taking photography just this year, but I’ve been taking photos for the past couple of years. I use the canon 80d to take all my pictures with and I use Lightroom on my laptop to edit all of my pictures. I would  say my style of photography is really trying to portray my ideas to the audience. I believe in the phrase “a pictures worth a thousand words”. This is so accurate because everyone that looks at a photograph interprets it differently than the person next to them. My photos usually have a meaning behind it that addresses a problem in the world. This is a way for me to portray my perspective of the problem and how bad it is to me. An example of this is when I photographed the pollution in Waikiki. I photographed the pollution catch system that catches most of the waste coming from the Ala Wai canal. I wanted to bring attention to how much waste we are wasting and how it is affecting our water quality and overall appearance. One of my projects that I really enjoyed working o was my long exposure portrait photographs. This project challenged me not just technically but mentally. In this project you can see it does not look like your normal portrait. I incorporated my long exposure skills in with portraiture. I had my model pose then move to a different pose while I messed around with lighting. I also messed around with the overall color of the picture when editing them. I made them relate to the actual mood that I was trying to portray so that it can have a bigger affect on the audience. This gave me a cool affect that I enjoyed working with. Each of my pictures represented a different mood that all related to the stages of fear.
