This image is from the rain project that we did in 2nd semester. The way I edited this photograph is I added clarity to enhance the droplets. I also added vibrance to pop out the different shades of green. I played around with the exposure and vignette to add a bit more darkness around the edges. I love this photograph because something about it just pops out to me, I love the different shades of green. I love the angle of the photograph, in my eyes everything ties it in together.

This image is from the "copy my poses" project that was done in the first semester. I didn't do much to manipulate because it already looked great beforehand. The only thing I may have done was adjust the exposure. I really like this photo because I think it is a great portrait photo that represents my aptitude for portrait photography.

Logan Kaminski, Class of 2026

This image is from the "cars" project that we did at the beginning of the year. I took pictures of a dodge challenger for the project, and really like this one of the tire. I didn't edit it much besides changing the saturation a bit. I love how detailed the image is and how you can see every little part and imperfection.

This photo is one that I took of Trance when our class went out to take pictures of dogs. In this photo, he is looking to the side so the viewers get a 3/4 view of his face. To me the story was that he was looking out to the side to the other dogs because he wants to go play. This is my favorite photo that I've taken this semester so far, because of the way that everything in the photo works together so well. I like how only Trance is in focus, but the background is blurry. Also I liked how the background was one solid color making the focus just on the dog. To me, it kind of looks like he is sort of smiling, which is really cute.

Joseph Martinez, Class of 2027

This photo was taken at one of the JV Baseball games VS Westview. What I like about this photo is that It's in the middle of his swing, and I like that I was able to get the ball in the shot as well. I took this photo into Lightroom and I didnt edit it really just changed the contrast.

Andre Pawlowski, Class of 2024

2024-05-09 15:44:50 UTC

I like this photograph because of the contrast of the red score board with the trees and sky. I like how clear the photo is and especially the text on the score board. It was from the first semester during the Composition project. I edited it in Lightroom to get the colors to pop and make the photo look more vintage.

Valery Dominguez, Class of 2027

2024-05-09 16:24:05 UTC

This photo was taken of Oscar when Love on a Leash came to visit and our class took pictures of many dogs. I didn't do much editing to it because it was already a great photo but I did brighten his fur and darken the background to make Oscar pop more. I really like this photo because it's an up close on Oscar's face and it shows all his features on his face and he's just so cute.

Alexander Brown, Class of 2025

This image is from the rain project. The interesting part about this picture is that it is an ordinary plant, yet looks like a cactus. I like that. It is my favorite photograph because of its dramatic nature, and that this photo reminds me of my family. The editing pulled this photograph into a better area of photographs, as the texture, clarity, and saturation were the primary sliders that were tampered with. Another thing about this is how detailed the picture is, and I personally love how you can see the small ridges on the plant; it is fascinating.

Ruth Solano Jesus, Class of 2026

2024-05-09 16:41:12 UTC

This picture was taken from the most recent project we had for the water droplets. to edit this picture, I had used Lightroom to be able to enhance some of the colors. I had also tried to focus on the droplets as much as I could. I like this picture the most because of how the droplets made to photo look like it was something seen from a window after it had rained. I also like that the original picture I used for this project had been one of many that I had taken in Santa Monica in 2022.

Adalyna Sanchez, Class of 2027

142001802 — 2024-05-09 19:40:15 UTC

This photo was recently taken during the food photography project. My photo is of my partner dipping the cookie into the milk because who hasn't dipped their cookie into a cold glass of milk before? To edit this photo I used a lot of LightRoom to add some more warmth into the photo while also brightening and darkening certain areas. I also used a bit of Photoshop on little crumbs that were on the cloth. This has come out to be my favorite photo of this year so far because I feel like it looks very professional and I really like how the background, cookies, and cloth all go together.

Layla Richmond, Class of 2026

2024-05-09 19:45:23 UTC

This is an image from our "light painting" project. I used AI and Lightroom Photoshop to manipulate this by adding pink hearts around the subject. I say this is my favorite because of the vibrance of the color and how it all blends well together with the different hearts. It was a fun project and I enjoyed working together with my group to take these pictures.

Amy Nguyen, Class of 2025

2024-05-09 20:36:34 UTC

This photo was taken from a recent water droplet project using a phone and droplets of water, the background photo being a picture of different colored umbrellas under a dark day. To edit the photo, I just changed the vibrancy and saturation in Lightroom to make the colors and the water droplets pop. It's my favorite photo because the picture reminds me of My Neighbor Totoro, one of the Studio Ghibli movies I adore watching.

Alicia Diaz, Class of 2024

2024-05-10 15:55:40 UTC

This photo is of Waffles from Love on a Leash. He was a super enthusiastic dog that was very treat motivated. I didn't do a lot of editing in this photo but I did turn up the contrast. This was a super fun project because it gave us the experience to take pictures of animals. It can be a challenge though since you might want to get the dog to pose a certain way or even get its attention but this project teaches you to have patience and to make the dog feel comfortable while giving them lots of pets

Jose Reynaga, Class of 2024

2024-05-10 16:01:55 UTC

This photo was taken for a project that I did time ago it was called Rain Project. I like this picture because I like how the plant look with the raindrops on it. I also like how the background look in the photo it really work's with the picture. I use photoshop to edit and try to make it a little bit more brighter so it look better this is one of the best pictures I get for this project on the rain.

Felix Garcia, Class of 2024

2024-05-10 16:03:15 UTC

This photo was taken for our forced perspective project, nothing is edited in the photo and it looks like Jhonny is holding the leaf. Jhonny stood back far away from me and then I held the leaf over the camera to the point that it looks like it's in his hand. I really like this photo because of how it turned out and the creativity of it.

Karina Dominguez, Class of 2025

2024-05-10 16:15:57 UTC

This photo was taken during the first semester in the "Compositional Rules" project. In this photo it consisted of my friend who I used as my model. While I was on the way to completing all five compositional rules for photography, all I had left to do was 'framing'. At first trying to find an idea was really hard and I struggled for a while. However after brainstorming with what objects we had near, I stumbled across a tire laying on the grass. So with the help of my friend we both lifted the tire up, and had her put in the middle to create the frame. As I was preparing to take the shot my friend thought it'd be funny to take a photo at the same time that I did, however I had no idea that she was and the reason being was because I was facing the sun so I couldn't see properly. However as I got up to see the photographs I realized that these shots were amazing even though it wasn't even intentional.

Marco Zuniga, Class of 2024

2024-05-10 16:16:12 UTC

This photo was taken as part of the artist as mentor project in the classroom with a ring light and black cardboard background. I had my model pose for camera looking insightful. I used Lightroom to add some detail and better lighting. I like the photo because of its clear detail and lighting matching perfectly with my models face and pose.

Jakob Wozniak, Class of 2026

261000393 — 2024-05-10 16:41:58 UTC

This is a photo I took on the basketball courts where the 800s used to be. It was from our "Rainy Day" photography project. I liked this image right away because of the clouds and the whole feel of it, and already had an idea for editing. I turned the temperature down, giving it the slightly blue tint you see. I also decreased the highlights, shadows, and whites settings. What gives it the look that I love is the texture and De-haze being turned way up. To me, this image feels almost nostalgic in a way.

Christine Powell, class of 2025

264004859 — 2024-05-10 16:47:47 UTC

This photo was taken this semester during the cloning project. My model and I were looking for places with a beautiful background for the photo(s) and we found this tree outside of Mr. Bailey's class, with the quotes on the papers and I loved how the photos all came together and there is three of her, making it look like she's thinking different things and her attention is directed to three places at once. In photoshop I put the photos together and lowered the opacity of the top photo to get the model on the right to be shown, and did the same on the left, and merged them together.

Avarie Gann, Class of 2027

2024-05-10 16:59:32 UTC

This photograph was taken as part of our "Rainy Day" project. I chose this image because of the little rain droplets and the bright colors. I feel like all the elements compliment each other very well. To edit this photo, I imported it into Lightroom and upped the exposure and vibrance to make those subtle colors pop. I also cropped my image to make sure the focus was clearly on the center succulent.

Mia Diaz-Ordaz, Class of 2027

2024-05-10 17:07:26 UTC

This photo was for the multiple exposure assignment I like how this photograph turned out because it looks like someones thinking of the other person or as if something is going to happen I also like it because of how I edited the color tint I feel like the fact one of my models was looking down and the other was side eying it gives more of like a story behind the photograph

Angel Mayoral, Class of 2026

2024-05-10 17:10:42 UTC

This photograph was taken for the compositional rules project a while back. This is the compositional rule Crop. I really like this specific photo because you can see the texture in the tree and it's all you can focus on. I used lightroom to make it black and white to really make the tree pop out more, rather then having your attention go to the background. I feel this is my best picture everything is just perfect to me.

Brandii Jimenez, Class of 2025

2024-05-10 17:14:57 UTC

This photograph is from the Water Droplet Project. I had sprayed water from a water bottle on a clear plate and had put the plate on two things of bricks to hold the plate above my phone. I had then put my phone under the set up and had started taking pictures of this lion. I had edited this photo in light room and had adjusted the Temp lower and Tint higher. I love how the picture is already enough but the water droplets gives it more to the photo. I love how it has the all blue color in this photo

Jazlyn Saldivar, class of 2027

154005364 — 2024-05-10 18:02:15 UTC

This photo was taken durning the multiple exposure project. This is my favorite photograph because I love how the 2 plants blend in together. I used photoshop to fix the lighting on the picture, I made the image a little bit brighter so you can see all the colors on both the plants.

Nayeli Martinez, Class of 2026

2024-05-10 18:05:07 UTC

This was one of my photos I had taken for our "Flowers" project. I enjoyed this assignment because I learned that vibrant colors lead to some of the best shots. I also learned about the confirmation of flower photography, meaning to focus on my main object and try not capturing any of its surroundings. I not only learned the importance of confirmation in flower photography but kept that throughout all of our other projects. Something I like about my photo are its vibrant colors and that the texture of the flower is noticeable.

Nayla Romero Aguirre, Class of 2025

2024-05-10 18:13:54 UTC

This photograph is from the rain project we did during 2nd semester. I used Lightroom to edit this picture. I wanted to go for a more dark mood so I decreased the exposure. I increased the contrast all the way. On top of that, I increased the vibrance of the picture to make the green stand out and increased the texture so the water droplets were more defined. I played around with the vintage to give it a dark effect around the picture and have the leaf and tiny flower be the center piece. I love how focused and defined the droplets/flower are in the photo and the feeling you get when looking at it. This is defiantly one of my top favorites I have done all year.

Merinda Castillo, Class of 2024

2024-05-10 18:14:33 UTC

This photo was taken when we did our dog photography project this year. This was probably my favorite project this year that we've done. Not only did we get amazing photos of these cute dogs but we also had a fun time seeing the dogs behavior and seeing how happy the dogs were. I specifically really liked this photograph however. The angle, the little tongue sticking out is just so cute. I really like how it captures the dogs features making her really stand out. I edited it by going into Lightroom and messing with the lighting, exposures, and texture a lot. I really wanted it to be a well balanced picture so that nothing was overpowering the other. Overall the photo is cute but also very beautiful in its own way. I'm really proud of how it turned out and I would do it again if I had the chance to.

Cynthia Ruiz, Class of 2027

2024-05-10 18:25:26 UTC

This photo was from the food project that we took out in the lunch tables. What I liked about this photo is the sprinkles dropping from the top. It took multiple times to get a photo with the sprinkles dropping from the top, but at the end we got it. In Lightroom what I did was just adding brightness and color to the photo.

Austin Hickerson, Class of 2025

2024-05-10 18:32:19 UTC

This photograph was from the rain project we did quite some months ago. I used nothing to edit this photograph as I was worried this photo might become messed up as it was very beautiful to me. I loved doing this project as I think rain is the best thing to take pictures of, the lighting from the water is just amazing. It was amazing to work on this project as I had any amazing photos but this one was just beautiful and stood out to me.

Christopher De Jesus, Class of 2025

2024-05-10 18:32:57 UTC

I took this photo we our class were taking our dog photography project. this photography would be one of my favorites photos I've taken this year. the proceeds of being able to take phots of dogs and the interaction they make brought this project to a fun perspective of photography class. I liked how the outcome of my photograph turned out since the dog shows a happy emotion while having his tongue showing really brought a happy feel to this photograph and project. I would do this project again but would rather have other animals like birds, cats or reptiles.

Cesar Cira, Class of 2024

2024-05-10 18:37:27 UTC

This is the photo I chose for the San Diego Fair submission. I took this photo at the Cat Cafe in San Diego. My favorite part of the photo was the cat looking directly into the camera. I edited the lighting to be a little warmer because of the setting. I also edited the colors to make the cat's eyes just a little more vibrant to really bring them out.

Christopher Stimson, Class of 2024

800008368 — 2024-05-10 19:21:35 UTC

This picture is from "car photograph" project. I took the picture mid day so that the sun was right above the car and then I portend the left side of the car to be in frame and then I squatted down and took the picture. Then I edited it in light room by using the textures and clarity in the photo. I love how you can see how clean the car was.

Adora Jimenez, Class of 2025

140001529 — 2024-05-10 19:25:26 UTC

I took this photo during the Flying Food photography unit. I really liked this project because it was really fun and creative. I went back and forth from photoshop and lightroom to make sure the photo looked realistic.

Cailey Crowe, Class of 2026

2024-05-10 19:27:09 UTC

This Photo was recently Taken for our Flying Food Photography. I really Like how the Photo came out by Editing mostly all the Limes and lemons, and the orange peels Flying towards the Food. The oranges are Flying into the Cup to make it look like it will be orange Juice, Where as the Limes and Lemons are flying into the Food that is Lime or lemon Flavored. I Really liked how the Photo turned out, and I had to crop it and Straighten the Photo out. I then turned up and down the Shadows, the brightness, and the Black/Whites.

Marielle Elazegui, Class of 2024

800008462 — 2024-05-10 19:29:03 UTC

This is a photograph that I took of Mr. Sanchez for my project in product photography for "Callaway". I really love this photo because I love how I used digital art manipulation tomato it look like he's a very powerful golfer and to visualize how a golfer would feel whenever they are about to swing their clubs on their golf ball. I love how everything falls into place, especially the theme and how it highlights the background even more that it gives them more life and fun.

Ernesto Reyes, Class of 2024

384001341 — 2024-05-10 19:40:11 UTC

This is a photo I took of Marielle during our Andrea Robescu project. I liked my creative process during this and how I made the wings and the crown. Using an online stencil and the crown by trying multiple times. It was fun to edit and make and the colors used were what she said were her favorites at the time. While there were other photos I could have chosen, some with a lot of personal meaning attached, I chose this one because it was fun. I lowered the texture and clarity so it felt less real and made a layer mask with just Marielle in it so I could place the wings behind her. I intentionally gave the wings a graffiti type of look by lowering the opacity of the eraser tool and by randomly tapping on various parts of it and using a slightly darker or lighter shades of yellow and purple or low opacity black paint.

Gael Beltran, Class of 2024

2024-05-10 19:42:25 UTC

This is my favorite photo because of the beautiful composition it has. This photo contains a curious fact and that is that the white that is seen on the ground is not snow, it is salt and that makes this photo very special because there are very few places with these characteristics. I also want to say that I really enjoyed this project since I went a little far to be able to do it but every second and effort was worth it when I saw the results...

Isabella Montejano, Class of 2024

153004492 — 2024-05-10 19:54:07 UTC

I really like this photo because of the way the wire from the headphones kind of lead your eye through the pictures. There are also 3 different sections of the photo that feature different types of things, like school supplies and personal care items. This photo feels like a personal representation of me in a way because its supposed to represent what I carry with me on a day to day basis, or what I had on me at the moment.

Merick Holt, Class of 2027

2024-05-10 20:34:33 UTC

This picture was very random. I was out taking pictures and I saw my friend. We to talking and he was getting water and he told me to take a picture so I got this amazing shot. I love how you can see all of the water drops. I edited this in photoshop by upping the vibrance and lowering the brightness

Nevaeh Reyes, Class of 2025

2024-05-10 20:44:50 UTC

This is a photograph I took during the Artist as Mentor Project. The photographer I was inspired by was Dane Shitagi. He is a dance photographer and usually does black and white pictures of ballerinas. In order to do this I asked one of my friends who dances at the same dance center as me to model for me. We met in Carlsbad village and she came in her ballet outfit with her pointe shoes. We walked around and I took various pictures of her doing different poses, and this was one of my favorites. To edit this picture, I went into Lightroom and put a black and white filter on. Then I adjusted the exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites, blacks, texture, clarity, and dehaze. I really like this photo because I like the pose my friend is doing and the black and white really pulls everything together to give it elegant feeling. I also like how there is normal city life in the background like people walking and cars driving.

Aubrie Keffer, Class of 2024

2024-05-10 20:47:21 UTC

This mandala was made from an old light painting photo. I followed the instructions in Photoshop and did a fun drawing.

Riley Waller, Class of 2024

2024-05-10 20:53:37 UTC

This photograph is from the elements of art project. I got a really focused shot of the flower in the middle as well as showing the flowers in the back that still are yet to bloom. I took this picture outside one of the classes in the back of the 100's. I believe that this image shows nature and can symbolize the beginning of spring. I also like how colorful it is.

Valeria Ruiz Cruz - Class of 2027

2024-05-10 20:57:22 UTC

This is a picture I took of my model standing up and looking at the mural for the "Power Word". It is one of my favorite photo because of the symmetry in it and the visual appeal. Also because it's a picture of one of my close friends and she looks good in it. I manipulated it in Lightroom by playing around with presets, contrast, and saturation.

Levi Thompson, Class of 2027

146006815 — 2024-05-10 21:07:54 UTC

This is my favorite project and photograph that I took because it was very fun and cool how the water drops made the picture look. This photo specifically I liked the best because I think it was very interesting how the water drops made my surf board look. In Light room all I did was lighten and discolor the photo.

Madeline Valle, Class of 2027

143002466 — 2024-05-10 21:12:21 UTC

This picture is from our project "Cloning". I made my friend Layla Richmond stand in different areas of the library as I took the photos. I edited this by adding every pose I put her into one picture. I really like this photo because completing and doing this project was really fun for me. This photo to me is funny and very clean.

Nevaeh Sanchez, Class of 2027

2024-05-10 21:14:16 UTC

This photo was taken out of Mrs. Clarks room, I took it for the project called "Water Droplets". I had the camera focus on the water droplets so the background was a little blurry. I really like this photo because I think it's one of my prettiest photos and to me it gave me a dreamy princess kind of feel.

Efrain Ramon, Class of 2025

2024-05-13 15:40:56 UTC

This is a photo I took during the project 'Wacom' where I took a picture of my partner and outlined him, and created a cool design as the background. What I like about this photo is how my model posed, being able to outline him even better and make him pop out more. I took this photo into photoshop, where I used the Wacom Table to outline him and create the background.

Dylan Hilke, Class of 2027

2024-05-13 16:06:33 UTC

this photo was taken during the mandala project. i found a pile of trash i the lower field and then edited it and put a different background with leaves. i like this photo because it shows what littering and pollution can do to this earth. i enjoyed this project because it was very fun to edit and to shoot aswell.

George Rojas, Class of 2027

2024-05-13 16:08:46 UTC

This photograph was taken at Monterey beach up north. What I did to make it look how it looks is I went to Lightroom and turned off the whites and turned on the shadows and blacks of this photograph. Overall I had fun taking this photograph. In my option this is the best photograph ive took so far because one side looks like the dark side and the other looks like the good side. This also reminds me of yin n yang.

Daniel Victoria, Class of 2025

2024-05-13 16:11:15 UTC

This photo was taken for the Pet photography assignment. This is a picture of Trance looking up at her trainers hand for a treat. I like this photo because of how clear you can see the details of Trance's fur. In Lightroom and tried to enhance the color a little bit just so it doesn't look unnatural.

Yasmine Alvarez, Class of 2024

2024-05-13 16:20:00 UTC

For one of my recents project we did water, this photo caught my eye, if I showed you the before and after you'll be amazed because of how it looks different. I overall liked the photo the best because it shows over time how much I learned and created something so eye catching from a before photo that didn't look interesting. I used more of contrast and more brightness.

Jaiden Valenitne, Class of 2026

2024-05-13 16:20:15 UTC

This is a picture from one of our most recent projects, i took this picture of Trance when our class went out to take pictures of dogs. Its one of my favorite photos by far, i really like how curious and focused he looks with both of his ears up.

Luis G, class of 2025

2024-05-13 16:21:29 UTC

For one of my projects we had to do proportionate pictures. This is one is my favorite.

Jocelyn Gonzalez, Class of 2025

2024-05-13 16:41:19 UTC

This photo was taken for the spooky project that was done during the first semester. I just had my model hold and selection and make it seems like she is screaming for her life. I really like this photo because how moody and dark it is. I didn't really edit it on light room because it just seem really good just from the camera I didn't want to take that dark feeling away from the photo.

Uriel Garcia, Class Of 2026

2024-05-13 17:02:28 UTC

This was back when we did the staple city project. I really like the way the background goes with the city and how the colors look very vintage and old school. I turned up the brightness in light room and put on a filter to give it the vintage look that it holds. I also really enjoyed the rest of this project; I also really like the way the buildings have a shadow that looks very clean and blended in.

Mauricio Arango, Class of 2027

2024-05-13 17:03:01 UTC

This photograph was taken for the Pet Photography assignment. This is a picture of the Golden Retriever that was brought in to capture pictures of, I captured a picture of Pixie catching a ball her owner threw at her. I like this image because I captured it at such an exact moment where Pixie was pointing her snout up and showing her teeth which makes her look vicious even though she is a very friendly Dog.

Diego Garcia, class of 2024

2024-05-13 17:48:32 UTC

this was a photo I submitted to one of the contest we participated in the class.in order to take this photo I used a disposable camera which gave the photo a grainy retro feel. I like this photo because it is of my friend geo happy with his Starbucks I also like my editing with the black and white background and how I also gave it some texture.

Kaleb Maina, class of 2027

2024-05-13 17:56:48 UTC

this Photo was taken during the dog project. What I like about this photo is how you almost feel like your seeing the dog yourself.

To edit this photo i mostly changed the exposure to make it brighter. I also changed the clarity to give it a more blurred and paint feel Aside from that I didn't really do any other changes.

Jesse Bazan, Class of 2024

2024-05-13 18:00:51 UTC

I took this photo during the Artist as mentor project. This type of photography was one of my favorites since we got to copy the artist style of photos and they came out really good. I just really like how well the photo came out since for this photo you were suppose to make your own style of the artist's work. So I got some references from his work and had my model hold up his V-bucks card and it came out like this.

Esmeralda Escobar, class of 2025

2024-05-13 18:20:14 UTC

This photograph was done for the forced perspective project. I love how silly this picture is. It was taken in the lunch quad of the school with my friends from class. I did very little editing as far as enhancing clarity and contrast goes.

Andrew Gonzalez, Class of 2027

2024-05-13 18:28:41 UTC

This photo was from the assignment staple city. I really liked it a lot. I set up all the staples and searched up a beach background on my chromebook. The reason why i like this picture so much is because i love the beach and i like how the buildings came out so dark.

Cheyenne Crowe, class of 2024

I took this photo when we were doing flat lays. it is a bunch of things that remind me of my little doggo. She is my favorite thing on this planet. I want4ed to get a bunch of things around my house that remind me of my little dog. So I got a picture I had of her, some of her toys, some dog food, and a harness, and her extra collar. I used all these objects to create a very pretty layout off all things related to my dog. I love how this turned out and am so proud that I was able to make everything fit together so well and it all combined so smoothly.

This photo was from the dog photography. I really enjoyed and love taking the pictures of the dogs. This was one of my favorite project that I did because it was really fun and the dogs were all nice. For the editing of this picture I jus made the picture more lighter due to the lighting it was really gloomy outside.

This photo was from our food in where we would have to bring in food and professionally take them. I did Sushi I choose sushi since its one of my favorite foods as well as the natural color it gives off. As soon as I took it and laid it out I imported it to photoshop and edited in lightroom the color and lights and shadows really contrast the level of depth this photo shows.

This photograph was taken in the quad this is my favorite photograph because it's not something that is common and I feel as though it has a unique feel to it. I manipulated this photograph by taking it first to Lightroom and messing with the contrast until I felt good with the results and then I decided to make the photograph have more of a blueish tint to make it seem like she was frozen into ice.

This photograph was taken for the Rain project. There were water drops on my camera and it seemed as if it were drops of rain. My partner was also taking photos of my camera to include for the project, when I took my photo. I believe this is my favorite photograph because of how there is one specific drop of water in the center overpowering the other small drops. It really captivates the viewer and shows the power of a small drop of water.

This photo was taken when we were doing the multiple exposure project. My photo is a picture of two people that is pout together and then there's fingers in the middle of two of them. I really liked how this turned out because of how it looks like a movie theater cover because of how it's conjoined and it looks really cool.

This photo was taken for the 'Flowers' Project. The photo is of a single small succulent in a plant bed of many small succulents. I like the photo because it brings out the vibrant colors available in the succulent. I made it by getting close up and choosing a large aperture I was able to get the focus on the center of the succulent. I also edited the photo in Lightroom to bring out the most color possible.

This is one of the photos I did for the double exposure. I used photoshop to phase the trees into my models face. I liked this one because it blended well and it looked very natural.

I took this photo of my sister at the beach with my mom's camera. ever since I took this photo I just fell in love with reflection photography. I love the beach and love going on photo shoots with my siblings. to get this look of the image I turned up the clarity and down the texture to get the dreamy look, I also added a little yellow tint to it. this is one of my favorite pictures ever.

This photo was taken recently during the food photography project. The photo is of mini roll cakes, strawberries, coffee cups and a container of chocolates behind it. This is one of my favorite photos as It looks professional, as if it is advertisement for a pastry store. I also like how the light hits everything well and the shadows that are made.

This photo was taken after school at the duck pond for fun and I edited it in light room and made the picture a little brighter and then I called it good what I Like about this photo is than you can see the water rushing down

This image is from the project "Compositional Rules" from semester one. I manipulated this photo by making the photo white and black and increasing the texture of the photo so that it enhanced the photo. I specifically liked this photo because how up close it is and shows all the textures of the apple.

This is one of my first photographs I took while in photography 1 class in the “flowers” project and up to this day it's one of my favorites. I took this photo here at the RBV and It became one of my favorites because I really liked the colors, reflections of light, and the composition of crop placing the subject in the middle. Things I edited for my photo to end up like this were to change saturation, colors, exposure, and background blur to make the colors pop up and look great.

This photo was taken this semester during the mandala project. I went down to the quad to look for colorful objects and I came across these pottery objects. I like how the colors are bright and compliment each other. To edit this photo I used Lightroom first to get the colors to look somewhat bright since the photo came out a little dark then I edited it in photoshop to get rid of the reflection that was reflecting off the glass and any dust that was on the glass.

This photo was one of the pictures I took this year during the second semester for our "multiple exposure" project. For this project, we had to go outside the classroom to photograph different things, and at first, it was somewhat difficult to handle the double exposure, meaning when I'd take a picture the double/second shot would come out uneven or just out of place. When I shot this and looked back at the camera I instantly fell in love with the way the sky looked. Overall, this has been one of my favorite pictures that I've taken because of how calming and peaceful the sky looks.

This photo comes from our float project. We were tasked with taking a photo and editing it to make the subject appear as though they were floating. I chose to change the original background to space because my model, Aidan Parson, loves space and I thought it went perfectly with his pose since I could write a prompt about him being an astronaut in space. To change the background I spent time in photoshop creating layers and outlining his body to make sure it was the only thing visible from the original background. This project was really fun and I think this is one of my favorite photos since I spent a lot of time on the editing and put a lot of thought into how I wanted it to look.

This Photograph was taken for Light Painting assignment. This is a picture of two guys in the middle and the red light is going around them. I really liked how this picture turned out because the effect on the light turned out really cool. The color really pops out in the picture and I changed it a little more by making it brighter in photoshop.

I like this photo I took earlier in the semester, because of the bright overlay. this photo was actually one of the last photos I took before going back in class, which reminded me of that one time we watched a photography competition and they said to take pictures until the last second because you don't know what could come out of that last picture. which really stuck with me because its true, not only for photography but in life. especially because you don't know what could happen if you don't try and keep going. I also like the way you can see her hair in the wind and the bright colors. I wanna give a Thank you to my model Heidi H. ! :)

This photo was taken for the cars project we did in the first semester. I took a picture of Andre's jaguar XJS 1996. I put the picture in lightroom and made the picture warm so it would give an old vintage like effect. When in lightroom I made the saturation increase and put a filter to make it seem more vibrant. I like the view of this picture and how the sun hits the car to make it shine.

This photograph of a no skateboarding sign was taken for the double exposure project a few weeks ago. I like this photo because of the cool effect it has on the lettering and images. To edit it I gave it a slight blue tint on Lightroom and lowered the exposure by a little bit.

I chose this picture because in the beginning of 2024 we had to make something we wanted our goal to be for 2024. This photo was taken in the bleachers. This is a representation of what I want my 2024 to look like because I want to achieve all my goals for junior year and senior year. This photo is my favorite because I am using the leading line to draw the person's eye to the model doing an amazing pose.

This photo was taken earlier this semester in the rainy day project. I saw a truck in the parking lot with this big Ford emblem on the front and I just got the idea to drip water down the front of the truck to see how the photos turned out. What I like about this photo is that even though it was a completely sunny day, I was able to make it look as if it just rained. I like how the logo is perfectly in focus and the focus fades from right to left. This photo almost reminds me of a photo that would be used in a Ford commercial so I think that's also really cool. In Lightroom I changed the vibrance and saturation, as well as the clarity and texture, and I added a very small dark vignette too, since the Ford logo is circular shaped. I think it turned out to be a very good photograph and one of my favorites from the year.
