I took this photo for enough because my family can't get enough of puzzles. Puzzles are a very big part of my family. During the summer my family will leave a puzzle out and everyone comes by and puts together some pieces and eventually it gets finished which feels special because its something we all worked on together.

At the start this image wasn't appealing. It was more zoomed out and very dark. I think that cropping the image made it stronger by getting rid of the background because the photo is really all about the puzzle itself. I added a lot of contrast to this image and I think it helped when I was turning the vibrance up by distinguishing each color.

"caught in the rain"

This photo was very grey. I turned the temp up to be warmer and turned the tint up as well. I also sharpened and added more texture to the image.

I thought the old church around all of these big industrial buildings was interesting and almost complimented each other in some odd way.

This photo originally was yellow and flat. I wanted to have more contrast between the two buildings so I turned up the blacks and contrast. I also turned the temp down to lesses the yellow/ warm look of the photo. I then turned up the texture to get rid of the flatter look and bring out more of the detail on the church.

I wanted to twist the nature part of this prompt. Right outside of my window in my hotel in NYC were many many buildings like there are all over.

For this photo because it was taken through a window I had to make quite a bit of changes due to how the window dulled the look of the image. I brightened the photo and turned the temp down because the photo originally had a warm look that made the buildings look "boring". I also used the color mixer to have certain parts of the image pop like the sky and the building with the construction on it I turned the saturation up for blue and orange. After I did that I wasn't super happy with how it was looking, The overall image was too cool. So I wanted to color grade I put the shadows at orange to created more contrast with the blue parts of the photo.

For portrait of an artist I wanted a picture of me and my friends but not as traditional so when we were walking around NYC we passed by this convex mirror and I had the idea to take a photo of all of us. I think this is a strong photo because of each or our expressions, I think it shows our personality. Every artist has a unique personality. These two girl are the most creative people I've ever met whether its painting, cooking, sining, writing I think they are the best artist I know.

For this photo it was originally very under exposed. I fixed the exposer and made very small edit because the photo is strong on its own.

For "The beginning" I wanted to portray the beginning of a horror movie because those are my favorite types of movie openings

I decided to keep the photo darker and intentionally used a diagonal camera angle to have a scarier feel to the photo.

I originally shot this photo for the prompt looking through but then when I uploaded it, The image reminded me of what I picture the story of Adam and Eve to look like. Which I interpret the beginning of the Bible as a "spiritual awakening"
I think that the framing of the leaves is what makes this such a strong image it focuses your eye to the center of the image I used a F stop of 5 to create a shallower depth of field which I thought worked well with what I was trying to achieve with this image.
