This week, I am working on some unfinished projects, so I decided I would create a post on my past work that won me my first few regional photography awards! Specifically, I earned a Gold Key, Silver Key, and an Honorable Mention award from the Scholastic Art and Writing competition held earlier this year. This photograph was taken of Emily […]
A couple of weeks ago I described the different fabrics I picked up at JOANN Fabrics and Crafts. When I was taking a few self-portraits with those sheer fabrics, I decided to put a pair of my mom’s old pantyhose over my head. Even though my hair became a mess afterward, it was so worth it!

These past couple of weeks have been hectic! A lot of schoolwork and adjusting to new routines and schedules. This weekend I had time to experiment with different photography ideas because of the long weekend (happy Labor Day everyone!). Because of the pandemic, I have still been playing with self-portraits and the self-timer on my camera. Yesterday, I even went […]

As a photographer, I almost always discover a fascinating photograph to capture. A week ago, I was taking a stroll down a beautifully lit path […]

I decided to compare the night time and day time shells. In the day time, one shell stood out to be because of its enlarged size compared to the others. In contrast, […]
I love driving with my mom to a destination with a beautiful sunset, especially in summer! A couple of nights ago, we thought it would be fun to drive west to see the Sahara dust storm sunset. It was magnificent. I stood up through the sunroof and felt like I was standing on top of the world while I admired […]
Until a few weeks ago, I would rarely use parchment paper. Now, I discovered it to be an amazing tool in photography to use to put in front of an object or person. I had no clue how it would turn out, so I just had fun with it! My brother even agreed to model! Usually, my friends love to […]
