This is my favorite picture of this year because it is of the person I connected with over the year of having this class. I'm grateful that I met Jojo, and I think this picture does him justice. For the image I just had him be comfortable in the lighting studio and snapped the perfect image of him glancing off to the side. I like the way the lighting came out and the glow on his skin is perfect. The only editing I did was make the colors more warm and crop it down a smidge.

This image is from the food challenge that we did in class. I edited this in photoshop and deepened the dark colors to really let the cookies be the focal point of the picture, it also helped the lighting look very calm to give the cookies a soft look. I really like this picture because of how soft the lighting is and how golden the cookies look.

This photo was taken for the Mopa's Magic and Myth assignment. Kat and I had a lot of fun taking these photos and what I especially liked about this one was the blue in their eyes and the glow in the cards. For this photo I actually had them wear their Hello Kitty outfit plus get their makeup done because I felt that it would bring out more of the magical theme.

I took this photo as part of the compositional rules project. We went to the duck pond and I saw a bird perched up on a branch and decided to take this photo using rule of thirds. I really didn't edit this much. Obviously I changed the coloring to black and white in order to replicate Ansel Adams style of photography. Other than the black and white I only made some clearing and cleaning up edits to make the photo more detailed.

# data[].attributes.body
I got this image from the food photography project. I darkened the picture using the contrast tool a lot so that there wasn't any distractions in the background so that the cupcakes are the main focus. The lighting was good but I felt that it should be darker. I like this picture because I can imagine what this cupcake tastes like and feels like.

This photo is from the light painting project. I had a lot of fun playing with the shutter speed and getting the chance to use the light stick. My teammates and I were able to capture this amazing photo of one of our group members. We moved the light stick around here in circular motions to create this lightsaber orb around her. I really like how out of focus the photo is because it adds to the dizziness and illusion of the photo created by the light.

This image of my mom is taken off of the Artist as Mentor project.  It was a recreation of the style that Yousuf Karsh takes for his photos. You can see the dramatic lighting that makes out the detailed shades on the skin. I changed various things, mostly contrast and textures by blending. I took this picture in my house by a glass door. I like this image because without my mom I would not be here, and the photo shows her importance in my life.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo was taken for the Tessellation project. I chose this picture because I love how it gives a sense of curiosity. I messed with the coloring of the guitars and the way that they were set up. It was fun to make because I was able to give my own touch to the photo. I feel like this one shows the amount of concentration and creativity to take the picture. The guitars already had beautiful colors I just had to accentuate then more. I love how you almost can't tell what the original picture was.

# data[].attributes.body
I took this photo for the artist as a mentor project. I actually didn't do much editing to the photo I just added a filter and changed the light a little. I absolutely love this photo because I didn't really know the models they just happened to be in my class and I asked them if they would model from and they said yes. It was during class so it was really rushed and awkward because the whole class was watching. My favorite part of the photo is that the sun is making them glow a little and that they are both slightly smiling.

This picture was taken for the Artist as a Mentor project. I was recreating images of the photographer Alice Gao, who is well-known for being a still life photographer. Her style is very simple and minimalistic, which is why I enjoyed taking photographs based on her other work. I really like how this image I took creates a peaceful mood because everything is mostly neutral tones. This also helps bring more attention to the flowers under the lamp, because it they are a purple color which stands out from the rest of the colors in the photograph. I took this image in the living room and I didn't really need to set anything up to create it, I just saw the lighting and thought that it would make for a great picture because the wall was a plain color and it would give the minimalistic effect of Alice Gao's work.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked this food photography picture simply because of how funny it was. I don't know who would even put cream cheese on a cinnamon roll and the cinnamon roll was in the foreground but the focus was still on the cream cheese.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo was took on the magic and fantasy project assignment. I wanted to make it with the light effects of slow exposure, as well as a want to add an element of my own hobby and passion, so too say. This image display's an instrument within a black room, with light surrounding it on every angle, adding a unique effect of magic as well as peacefulness. The instrument is the main point of focus, something seen threw the light, with thew beams acting as sort of a frame to hold the clarinet. To be honest, this picture was a mistake, the overall lighting changed on me by accident by I pushing a different button on the blade, turning from blue to purple, although I think it turned out great, and after almost 50 pictures taken with these setting at different angles and colors, I chose this one to be my favorite of all the photos taken this year.

# data[].attributes.body
I took this photo for our spooky stories assignment, I was at a trail with my family and decide to take a photo of the path way. I edited the photo by making it look like your running to help connect with the story better. I also just edited the color by making it Black &White to make it a better scarier. I took this photo randomly, but choose this photo with a story in mind. It was a lot of fun and I wouldn't mind doing it again.

# data[].attributes.body
This picture was from the celebrity project. It is by my favorite as I had a lot of fun making it. Ryan Reynolds is by far my favorite actor so to photoshop myself next to him was super cool and funny. I and many others have got a good laugh from this picture. Also learning how to photoshop was really interesting and taught me something I can definitely use in my future.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo was a part of the spooky stories project. This is my favorite photo because I had a lot of creative freedom to work on it, and I got to do it with my brother. We got all the props together and I made a basic story line and we had fun taking the photos. I waited until it was pitch black outside and set up a phone flashlight so the light was shining up at him. When editing the photo I made sure everything except the window and the subject was pitch black to get a scarier affect.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked this picture from the compositional rules project because of how clean the reflections off of the creek are, and how the focus emphasizes the plant in the corner. I'm a sucker for black and white edits, so this entire project was a lot of fun for me, since it was all about high contrast black and white edits that emphasized our compositions over the colors in the shots. The picture was pretty in color, but it was definitely elevated by the edit. The reflections off of the water make the photo a little busy, but not so much as to distract from the subject of the picture, and the reflections give the photo a lot of character and mystery, which really informs my opinion of the picture.

# data[].attributes.body
This image from the Magic & Myth project is my favorite because I enjoyed the concept of it. I enjoyed the amount of photoshop and effort it took to make each person unique from each other to be able to differentiate from each other. It took me awhile to edit each layer and to assign a unique color. Some challenges were to fit them all and to make sure colors don't overlap. Overall I enjoyed the experience.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my favorite photo as it was one of the very first photos I took in the year. The project was simply to take multiple photos of nature and edit it to any way I liked. I like this photo because this was my first try at editing something and I thought it looked really nice with the colored leaf and the black and white background.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo is from Compositional Rules at the beginning of second semester. I really like this photo because I had a lot of fun taking it. I really liked walking to the duck pond as a class. I enjoyed looking at the ducks. My friend and I got really close to the pond and I was able to take this picture of the duck. This photo represented the crop compositional rule. I zoomed in just a little to make sure that the duck was centered but I like how I didn't have to crop anything. I also like how you can see every little detail in the duck's feathers.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo from the Principles of Art assignment, used to show an example of variety is one of my favorites because I just think the sky at this time is very pretty. Not only that but towards the center of the picture you can see a dolphin that just happened to be swimming near the pier in Oceanside. This image is an example of Variety because typically dolphins are common in the months of May to early August and this was taken in late September. I didn't do much to this photo besides make the horizon straight and upping the shadows to give more tension to the waves.

# data[].attributes.body
This picture was taken in Oceanside when me and my brother went for a walk by the beach. I used this photo as an element for a photography project because this photo is a great example of positive space, as my brother is the main subject and the beach is the background. I really enjoyed this picture because it represents my lifestyle in a way and everything that I'm grateful for.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo is from our Macro Photography Project. It is one of my favorites because I had never used a Macro Lens before, and I ended up getting this really nice insect photo. I like the way the bright yellow wasp contrasts against the murky water and green foliage. You can really see the glistening reflections and textures. It was a challenge to get the proper angle when the wasp wasn't flying, but everything worked out and Im really happy with how it came out.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo was taken for the Elements of Art Project. I really liked this photograph because it gives a very peaceful feeling. I loved that I took the photo from an angle as it gives more of a story of the ocean. I liked how the front rock is blurry and it focuses more on the ocean. As well as the stairs emphasize more of scenery. I chose this photo for value because of the different shades. I manipulated the photograph by putting a black and white filter to catch more of an emotional appeal to the viewers eye.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo is from the compositional rules project. This is my favorite photo because I like how focused the flower is and how it draws attention. I also had fun doing this project because we all got to walk to the duck pond for the first time. This photo represented the crop compositional rules because it centered and focused on the main thing in the photo and shows every detail.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo was taken for the "food photography" project. I took macarons and sprinkled powdered sugar on them for a yummy look. I edited it in Lightroom and brought up the brightness of the photo to make those colors really pop. I took the dodge and burn tool to erase some of the crumbs on the marble mat that had fallen. I loved getting up close to it to really show off all the delicious features.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo was from the project food photography. It was one of my favorite photos because I love all the abstract colors in this image. Also it was really fun setting this up and working with my team members. I loved how all of our photos turned out. Although I especially love this one that I took because of the detail in it. Also because when I was editing it, it was super cool to see how the different elements like the texture, contrast, exposure really made a difference in this photo. Overall it was hard to chose one favorite photo out of all of them, but I would say this one for sure is one of my favorite one.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo is from the project on food photography. I just recently transferred here a month ago, so we haven't done a lot of projects. This is my favorite out of the few choices I had, because I like the depth in the image. To manipulate the image, I made the f stop at f-8, and I also made sure to focus in on a single part of the grapes. I took this on a bench at school. There was gloomy lighting, so I had to saturate the image quite a bit.

# data[].attributes.body
I took this image for the Artist as Mentor project and it's one of my favorites this year. I edited the lighting and exposure to make the photo look more clean, I also lowered the colors a bit so it wouldn't overwhelm the picture. I really like this photo for many reasons, for one, the person in the image was my best friend and it was a lot fun taking the photos. I also really like it because this photo wasn't planned she was just being moving her hair and I took the photo, it just do happened I really liked how it came out.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo was taken for the Car Photography project. I really liked the dark and vintage feeling that this photo emulates. I also like that you can really see the details of the headlights, while also seeing other parts of the front of the car. I really like how the angle highlights the subject, which is the headlight, while also incorporating other aspects of the car. I also think the editing of this photograph makes it really interesting, since it is a vintage car, and the photo has a vintage feeling.

# data[].attributes.body
This photograph is from the food photography project. The reason why this picture is my favorite is because I like the angle I took this photo and the way I edited it. The warm tones really brighten up the photo making the photo stand out. I like how the background is blurry and the main focus in the cupcake in the middle. It almost looks like a food advertisement you find on a magazine.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo isn't necessarily from a specific project. I learned how to edit and get certain details of a car by a separate car photography project we did in class. I had allot of fun taking what I learned from photography outside of school and take it to a place where I can get the best pictures and show it to the world! I added a filter to the image added a little bit more detail brought up the contrast which gave me this image. I really love this image I would say its one of my best so far.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a photo that I took for the Toy Challenge project. This was one of my favorite photos that I took while being in this class. I really liked how I was able to capture the water droplets while they were in mid air. I also loved how the toy solider was just a silhouette. I edited this picture and made it black and white.

# data[].attributes.body
I took this photo at the duck pond for the compositional rules project. I really like this photo I took for framing because the tree in the center looks like if it was in an actual frame. I really like photos with color, but I also really like photos that are in black and white, so I decided to add a black and white filter to the photo. Overall I really enjoyed taking this photo and I am very happy on how it turned out.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this photo because I think it really looks good and appealing to the eye. This photo makes me hungry when ever I see it.I feel proud of myself for taking a photo this appealing to me. It makes me proud of myself knowing that I can shot a photo like this or better. These are some reasons as to why I chose this photo for my best photo of the year.

# data[].attributes.body
This image was taken for the Filling the Frame-Cars project. I had a lot of fun doing this project with getting cool angles of cars and going more in depth with the detail they have. I manipulated this photo in Lightroom by giving it a cool and calm tone of shading so the photograph wouldn't lose its touch with the tiny details. I specifically like this photograph because of how good and clear you can see each detail on the speed meter and I like how it gives futuristic vibes. I feel like this is one of my best shots overall.

# data[].attributes.body
Taking photos at the duck pond was a very memorable event. Following the compositional rules and emulating Ansel Adams style was a challenge, but it was fun as well. The picture above is my favorite photo as it gives me the feeling of something grand and expansive, almost like discovering something new. The feeling I get from this photo is what made it one of my favorites :)

# data[].attributes.body
This photo was taken form Multiple Exposure project. I like this photo because I did not no it would come out like this. I took this photo out of random. I like this photo because how the sunshine are in each corner. Also how the hallway and my friend look go together. How the sunshine is on the camera my friend is holding. Not sure what editing I did to the photo but most likely had a vintage look to it. Working on this project was really fun but this one came to me as my favorite photo out of all the photos I have taken.

# data[].attributes.body
This image is from the Landscape project, where you would have to take a picute of a landscape and change the picture in Lightroom to fit a mood. I found the project to be fun because it allowed me to play around with Lightroom. The reason why this is my favorite picture is how in the background it looks like an old picture, but in the front you can see slight shades of green and yellow and I like how faded the colors are.

# data[].attributes.body
This was a photo from when we were first introduced to Lightroom and were able to play around with color more. For this specific photo I messed around with the exposure, saturation and overall color hue of the parking lot photo to get this result. Since it was one of our first assignment with Lightroom it was a very fun learning experience for me and I love how the results.

# data[].attributes.body
This picture was for the Car Photography Project, and it's my favorite because I love how the reflection of light bounces off of the car, and how the white paint is a clear contrast from the dark gray ground. I used editing of contrast to make a clearer difference between the car and ground, but the whole image feels very aesthetically pleasing.

# data[].attributes.body
I took this image for the Food Photography assignment to show off some delicious cookies. I added some warm colors to make the image bring a warm feeling(just like cookies do). I also lowered some of the brightness to get more detail shown in the image. I really like this image because of the good feeling I get. The image makes me hungry and gives a relaxing feeling.

# data[].attributes.body
I took this photo for the food photography project and I love first of all the color of the image. I feel like the yellow adds so much to the photo and makes the viewer calmer. It almost looks as if the sun is shining directly on the cup and the Oreo. I love the contrast that the crumbs add in front of the cup and the Oreo. This came out exactly how I wanted it and fit the goal of the project which was to make the food item look as appetizing as possible and I feel with this picture I did that fully.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo was from the Mopa's Magic and Myth project. It is my favorite photo from this year because of the dark shadows land leading line. This photo was taken at the Oceanside library. I used photoshop to add in the tentacles coming out of the door frames. I also adjusted the lighting and used a blue tint to fit the under the sea theme.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo was taken for the magic and myth project. I had someone hold a small moon. I edited it in Lightroom and photoshop. I wanted to create it where this person has the moon's power and can control whatever the moon does. I really loved taking this photo because I enjoy astrology. I wanted to include a spacey theme into the project. I'm really proud that I got it how I wanted. It was one of my best photos yet.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo is from the recent food photography project. I really like this photo because of the way it turned out after the editing. I edited the texture, vibrance, and exposure for this image. I like the main focus, the donut, being the only thing that's clear and the background blurry, but still visible to make out what could be behind the donut. I like the warm and soft feel the picture gives off likes it's a memory on a sunny afternoon.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a photo I took for the close up car project.This is one of my favorite photos because I love how clear it is and you can see every little detail there is on the car. This is a really nice car in my opinion and I was thankful to have one of my old friends come down and let me photograph his car. I had a lot of fun taking these pictures.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo was taken for the Mopa's Magic and Myth assignment. I took this picture by the tennis courts, while I was looking for the perfect spot. I loved how the tarp just laid there kind of like a dead body, because of that little detail when I took the picture I knew I wanted to go down the horror route of the project. Which is why I ended up deciding to add a Wendigo which is an evil spirit with a different creature in the background and ended up making it all black and white to add into that spooky factor I was looking for when creating this picture. The whole point of this picture was to make the viewers need to take another look at the image.

# data[].attributes.body
I took this picture for the project "Photographs like Jordi Koalitic" and it was taken right outside of the photography classroom. I edited this photograph in Lightroom and I wanted to make the main focus of this picture be his eyes because his eyes are green, so I blurred the areas around him and some of the writing on the book so there wasn't any other distractions. I like this picture because of how it came together in the end with the blur and dark areas.

# data[].attributes.body
The image is from the photoshop portrait.  What I did for the manipulate it that layers two different exposures on a single image, combining two photographs into one. I like this photo because it was one of my best work that I did and I just like it in general I think I did a good job on it.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like this photo because of my poem, it really shows me and who I try to be. I also like this photo so much because of all the colors. For example the pink and green and white.

# data[].attributes.body
This was my favorite photo because it was one of the first I took. It really established the mood of my photos and what I excel at. This was during the rain photo challenge. The dark mood of the raindrop on the eye looks like it could be on the cover of a dramatic movie. It was awesome doing the rain photos and being creative.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo was taken for the Copy My Poses project. I like how Jason was posed and I think overall the photo looks really nice.

# data[].attributes.body
i chose this picture because it's my favorite photo that i took this year. The picture is a photo from the elements and principles of art. what i really like about this photo is that the light is seeping through and is shining on the town below. what i really like is the lines the light creates.

# data[].attributes.body
I took this photo in my photography class for a multiple exposure assignment. I was going for a summer vibe, and ended up with a refreshing picture that reminds me of relaxing at the beach. When I see this picture I can almost hear water crashing on the shoreline. The image also looks like something that would be in a sunscreen add because of how dewy my model is and the glow coming from the image. It has been my favorite image all year and I hope to make more similar to it.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked this picture because I think this is one of the most unique photo's I have taken. One of my favorite parts are the way I was able to get the refection of the light to go on the glass ball. And the hand I feel like emphasizes on how magic and myth because it looks like there is a glow to it. I also added a rose into the glass ball because the photo already had a lot going on but it just needed one thing and I was really happy that I choose to add the rose.

On our first trip to the duck pond I went out looking for nothing, I then found a majestic tree with branches that seemed to slither across the sky. After capturing the image of said tree I went into Lightroom where I devastated the quality by adding all sorts of color edits, my goal was to make the image seem like it was taken in a completely different environment. The color of the sky, highlights of the bark, and intensity of the grass were all heavily altered to achieve the look I was going for. In the end I had a picture of a tree.

# data[].attributes.body
This picture was taken at my house this year. I saw this butterfly in the plants and noticed that it stuck out. I did not edit this picture at all. I felt that I did not need to because of the natural coloring.

# data[].attributes.body
This image is from the rain photos from first semester. This image is my favorite because I think it looks really cool and has a lot of detail and also the image looks bigger than it actually is just because I took the photo really close. I also don’t think I edited it at all and if I did it was only a little. How I got the photo was by turning my phone up side down over a crack of water in the ground and then taking the photo with the flash on.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the photo I had the opportunity of turning in to the contest. The theme was mythical and magic. I go this picture at the duck pond of my brother Ammon in a tree. The tree itself already look so cool on its own but I decided to edited the photo a little more to match the theme. I edited the sky to be purple and photoshopped some starts to make it stand out as if Ammon has been teleported to a new demotion. This picture looks so peaceful and makes me wish there really was a place that looked like that.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked this photo and the concept of this project. I love the orange sunset. And the way my shoes are glowing. It was really sick. And the red bench. It was a ton of fun getting this too because we had to jump a bunch of fences.

# data[].attributes.body
I took this picture for my artist as a mentor project. My chosen artist was J. Grant Brittain, he is a local skateboard photographer. I used my friend Elijah Vasquez to be my model and I think the pictures turned out very well.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my favorite photo so far. I also really liked the concept of the project. It was so cool seeing how one picture could look like something its not. I really like this picture  because of the design that it created. It was also really challenging when it came to editing in Photoshop.

# data[].attributes.body
I got this image from the MOPA Magic and Myth project. In the photo I changed the lighting and colors to make this type of mystical fiction picture. I then used photoshop to insert the monster trying to grab the sun along with the bird and shark fins. When I was working on this I did my best to try to make it creepy with the big being way big and how everything is very ghost like. I like this picture because it is unique and creepy. I also really like how the water is a dark blue/ purple and the sky is a red.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo is from when we went to the duckpond earlier in the year. I liked it because I feel it tells a story and represents childhood very well. Another reason I included it is because I just simply liked the experience of going to the duck pond.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like this image because it brings out the personality my model brought to the photo. I took the photos on the Nikon and edited the photos on my iPhone. To create the expressions of my model I allowed her to use different facial expressions by telling her to lift up her eyebrows, look to a direction, and just find that perfect face expression. Over all it was super successful.

Originally I had chose a different photo but after we did the Macro Photography project I just loved my photos. I haven't really taken the best photos that I could this year but during the Macro project I took some of the best photos I could have taken. Granted it was a little harder with the fact that you had to focus in on the subject every time you wanted to take a picture, and the fact that you had to get really close to the subject as well but I think the whole experience of doing that helped me realize I was surrounded by things I could take pictures of and make unique. I know that the whole thing is based in timing and even exploring which made me enjoy it even more. The whole thing sort of made me want to buy a macro lease of my own, though I doubt I'll ever have enough money, and I believe I've found a type of photography that I really enjoy. The picture itself is a lizard that had stopped and looked at us as we were walking, I had also stopped and slowly getting closer to him getting a couple photos before he ran away into the trees.

This image is from the Aperture project. To me it is a great photo because is reels in on small details on the ground. It feels ambiguous to interpretation but to me it feels like it hones in on a little world on itself. Like it isn't apart of a bigger picture, even when it is. The lighting in the picture is also great, it gives the photo a melancholy mood.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked this picture, not just because of the way it looks, but the process that we used to create it, both in camera and on Photoshop. And that we were able to come up with a story as a group to pull this together and have fun creating it. Also the emotions we captured in each of us even the "Ghost".

# data[].attributes.body
I took this photo for the filling the frame car project. I enjoyed taking these photos for the project. It was challenging to get the angles right without being in the reflection but overall a good experience. I added a filter in Lightroom that gave the photo a commercial effect. This Is one of my favorite photos because it looks like its from a commercial.

This photograph was inspired by Ian Ruther. He focuses on landscape monochrome photography. I love all the detail of the tree trunk. It looks gloomy and I enjoyed going outside to take it.

This was a picture from our most recent project of photoing food. This was my favorite project by far so I figured why not pick my favorite photo from my favorite project. I chose this stack of cookies because the lighting was awesome and it just made these cookies look super appetizing.

# data[].attributes.body
This photo was used on the food photography project. I really like this picture because it focuses on the brownies. The background goes well with the blur. I edited this photo in Lightroom to give it just a set look, I didn't do too much editing. The brownies all stacked together goes well. This photo looks really yummy. I think someone would want one. I took this photo at school on a table.

This photo was taken at Rancho Buena Vista Highschool the thing I liked about this project was that I could be creative by using the items that were provided I also really like how the picture ended up coming out just how I had visioned It

This photo is from the compositional rules project. It's my favorite photo because I really like the way the goose looks. There is so much detail in the feathers and the face of the goose. I also really like the way that the goose is looking off into the distance. It looks kind of mysterious. I edited the photo by manipulating the black and white filters on Lightroom. Editing in this way enhanced the detail of the photo.

I got this image from the food photography project. I darkened the picture using the contrast tool a lot so the food really popped out and the chicken is the main focus, The lighting was pretty good but I felt it needed to be darker, I like this picture because it really focuses on the actual food and darkens out the background and it looks very clear.

The photograph displayed above was apart of the MOPA Myth & Magic Project, when we took a trip down to the duckpond next to RBV here and took a multitude of different types of photos. This image here was taken on a trail that is located somewhat deep inside of the duckpond trails, showing the sheer distance of the mountain on its side, with the mix of dead yet alive shrubbery coinciding with it. Now what I did to manipulate this photograph was that I edited it in Lightroom Classic, adjusting the saturation to a deeper, darker color scale with an adjustment to the hues themselves, creating a purple violet paired with a dark blue type of background. Wanting it to feel like your in a dream-like landscape, I saw the opportunity to create an environment of dreaminess qualities with a feeling of being free, while being in a cold, open, unfamiliar environment. I enjoy and specifically like this photo because I feel it captures a sense of how nature passes by with time, and how it coincides with the flow of life, open with no disruptions as such with a dream you can say the same thing.

This was a photo of my friend Lizzy that I took. I found Lizzy because I knew she had pretty awesome colored eyes. I use Lightroom to edit this photo and I turned the photo into s mandala. I decided that this was my favorite photo because it was the most fun to work on and I think that it is really unique and special as I have not seen any others like this.

This photo is from one of our first projects called the toy challenge. I edited this photo using Picsart. I then used the selective color tool to remove all the color except for the green of the toy soldier. I love this photo because of how professional it looks. I love how the soldier immediately catches your eye and how the chain is captured in the edge of the photo. I think this photo has a good blend of the blur effect and all the gray tones as well. Overall I love this photo because of how it made me feel. When I took this photo it shocked me that I was able to take such cool photos. I saw a new level of my creative potential and I loved the overall creative feel.

This picture was when it was raining and I got help from Vanessa. It was a good picture to be honest because I like how the water was reflecting Vanessa's shoes and when she stepped into the water you can see the waves and I think it was one of the best picture i could've taken.

I took this picture for the Artist as Mentor project. I really like it because it shows people just being people; sitting, walking, or looking right at the camera. I also like how right in the center of the picture you can see my parents hugging. I always enjoy pictures that lead the eye down a street or pathway, and the trees over the top add extra effect as well. I think that even though this photo isn't perfect, it's really nice because it's colorful and realistic.

This photograph is from light painting. The camera had already made the colors look really beautiful but I edited it using my phone to make the colors more vivid. The reason why I like this photo and consider it my favorite is because the colors surrounding my classmate look like aura and it gives it a martial arts type vibe.

This picture was taken from our most recent project but this one is also my favorite because it looks so professional and it looks like it would be in a commercial. I like how a portion of the photo is dark and the other half is light, it makes it look like Im having a picnic under a tree. It kinda gives off professional food photography vibes.

I enjoyed this picture because of how still it is and the black and whites in it. The shadows are captured perfectly in this photo because of how moody grey it was outside that day. I like to think that the pattern is little rocks sticking up from the ground. One day I hope to find something that replicates this in nature. I edited the photograph to have a darker tone to the picture.

This photo is from the MOPA "Magic and Myth" project. It's one of my favorite pictures throughout the whole year because I edited the texture, vibrance and exposure to make him pop out. Nature soothes me when I'm outside- it takes my stress away and I think of the positive side of life. It's like magic when I walk out because I see all the beautiful things that earth has created . My cat loves to be outside too, he enjoys the warm sun and rain puddles.

This is one of my first photos as a photography student. I took this for the toy soldier project. I really liked this picture because it makes the toy soldiers feel bigger than they actually are. Also, it reminds me of a movie shot of soldiers in a jungle. I like how it feels like a moment and how as a viewer you can imagine a story behind it.

From all the pictures this year, this is the one that really caught my eye the most. It was an accidental picture when I was trying to figure out how to work the camera but came out really cool! I used Lightroom for a bit of saturation for the picture and was for the project Multiple exposure. The vibe this picture gives just draws my eyes to it always which is why I chose this one!

This photograph is from the Compositional Rules project. So basically what I did to take this photograph was I had to kneel down by the little river and then I had to lower the camera to be able to get the shot. It's my favorite photo because I like how the water is so detailed and the grass is framing the water. The lighting from the sun also shines on the water which gives off a very peaceful look.

I took this picture at the Oceanside Pier. I edited it by using Photoshop and messing with the original colors. I like how the ocean and sky became a purple color, and the wood of the pier became a greenish color. It is a picture I am proud of and it came out better than expected.

This photo is from the blue light painting project, we painted neon paint on our models and used black lights to make it glow and stand out. It was hard to achieve this image because I had to time it to when someone else was taking a picture so the flash was on the side of her face. It was a lot of fun doing this project and being able to get results like these are always so amazing. This is my favorite picture of the year because of the facial expressions and the lighting. They work well with each other, it almost gives the idea that she in hiding something dark from the world.

This photograph was taken in April in our lighting studio at RBV High School. The person in this photo is my friend Jesus and he's modeling as a rich business man, so that's why he's holding cash in his hand. I choose this photo for my end of the year art gallery because I feel that this was my best photograph that I have taken. I love how the lighting is facing only his right side of his body giving it a sort of loop lighting. Overall, this year has been pretty fun and I'm happy to have been in this class, I've taken almost 600 successful photos and I can't wait to take more.

This photograph was taken for the False Advertising project where I was going for something that was not 100% true. I didn't quite know what to photograph but I was later inspired by this new cologne that I bought and it hit me. Once I got home I set up this little studio and got straight to work. I set up my background and got my subject in place as well with the lighting and then asked Alexa to play my playlist and we got to work. When I was editing, I went with a dark and kind of dramatic mood and used my phone editing to add text and to fix other things. This was overall by far one of my favorite projects I have done.

This photo was a personal project that I did this year. My friend performed as a solo clarinetist in our Concerto Concert and she was able to wear something different than our usual concert wear. This is one of my favorite photos from our entire shoot and she looks amazing. Overall I made the photo a bit darker and more saturated so you could see how beautiful her dress is and make the golden hour light really present. I love this photo because she looks elegant and powerful and that very much describes her, especially when she performs. I'm very proud I was able to capture this moment.

This photo was taken for the Jordi Koalitic Project. To make the fake tornado, I made a cone out of paper and stuck cotton on to it, then I used wire and a rubber band to secure it to the model's hand. Then my friend threw dead leaves from the side to give it action. In Photoshop I added the lighting, added a motion blur, added more detail to the tornado, and I also had to erase the wire/rubber band using the healing brush. I like this photo because all my friends helped me accomplish the final photo, I also like how the tornado turned out.

This picture was taken of my car before we went on Christmas break. It shows me that hard work and dedication was put into my car. I Photoshopped two pictures together and made them into layers. The first one I out a black and white filter with no car in the frame. The second one was with my car in the picture and I cropped my car into the first one. My car looks so different now and it shows the growth of me and my car.

This picture is my favorite I took of my friend jojo for the Jordi Koalitic project. What I did to manipulate the photo was I photoshopped my own kind of sunset into the background to match the photos the photographer takes. I loved how vibrant it was and how it perfectly reflected in the puddle and capturing the right moment of Jojo in the air. It was hard to get the reflection to be perfect and I remember trying so many times to make it perfect but it was all worth it.

This photo was for dance photography. This is my favorite phot of the year and I'm just so proud of it. The model is my best friend Desiree. She love doing ballet folklorico and she has passionate for it. I love how everything came out. I took this picture at the duckpond park and love how the background goes with the dress.I just love how the color pops out and her emotions says a lot of words. It show who she really is and that she is proud to be who she is.

This is my favorite photo this year it was for the "Rain Project".I took this at my house in the morning when there was mist. I really like this photo because its a very colorful photo and I also really like the flower. It's a Hawaiian flower called "plumeria". They have a good smell to them. I liked how clean the photo looked.

This image is from multiple exposure from 1st semester. This picture was taken in the quad on the PAC building. I like this photograph because of the editing I did and how I made the colors vibrant . I also like this photograph because the picture doesn't exactly line up. I really enjoyed this project and making different pictures not perfectly lined up and its unique because you could create a story behind it.

This photo was taken for the project "Elements of Art". This was a flower in the front yard of my house. I really liked the way the light was shining on it and so I took a picture. This shadow in the picture is really clear and so is the flower despite it being taken on a phone. I also like the effect of the black and white photo. It makes it more attractive to the eye, rather than having a bunch of colors surrounding the flower. With the black and white, the flower is the main focus as it is the brightest.
