What Does Femininity Mean to You?

Hi everyone! I am back with a topic I want to talk about: femininity. This topic has been prominent growing up as I grew up (and still am!) with a single mother and no father figure. However, femininity means something different to everyone. To me, femininity means female autonomy, strength, and courage. It also means unity among females across the […]

Asking Strangers to Photograph Them

Long time, no see! I have been very busy with school and especially with photography projects and events! I was recently named a 2023 finalist for photography for YoungArts Foundation, and the YoungArts week they held for all the finalists truly changed my life. During this week, I was mentored by the amazing and fabulous Corinne Botz and Elinor Carucci. […]

What Do You Think This Photograph Symbolizes?

A faceless person wearing a suit. Who is this person? Why do they have their face hidden? What do the pineapples on the face-covering symbolize? These questions could arise when looking at the photograph below. However, that is the whole point! This photograph, “Unidentifiable,” was inspired by my thoughts about teenagehood. As a teenager, it feels like one is stuck […]

My Camera Broke After This…

I went horseback riding in Colorado a few months ago and wanted to share the photos I captured. I had my camera out and ready at any moment (despite my hands becoming FROZEN because I took my gloves off so often). However, it started snowing violently in the middle of the horseback ride. In the midst of trying to capture […]

Skiing: Caught in Action!

Colorado posts continue! In this post, I am highlighting photographs of my cousin whilst skiing. I took a few days during my vacation to bring my camera around the mountain as I ski (with caution) in order to capture action shots and the environment around me. While on the mountain, I ran into my cousin, and he asked me if […]

Shadows

I recently went to Colorado and captured several types of photographs. In this post, I am exhibiting the photographs I took inside as I observed the light changing throughout the day. I decided to utilize my favorite three photographs from this shadow series and make it a triptych. When capturing the middle photograph of the triptych, I saw incredible shadows […]

Red, Red, and More Red!

Recently, I have been given the assignment to photograph three items from the back and make a tryptic out of them. I have never tried doing this intentionally, so I was intrigued by this assignment. In some way, all three photos had to coincide, whether that be through a common shape, deeper meaning, color, etc. From the title of this […]

Salting Photographs > Salting Food

Do you like salting your food? If so, try salting your photographs! You might ask, “Wait, you eat photos?” No! Salt is a great texture, as each grain of salt is different than another. When combined with water, the salt dissolves, as some of you might have learned in chemistry class! Thus, when putting water first and then adding salt, […]

Poking Holes Through Photographs?!

Hi! Sorry I have not been as active. I have been working on a project series for a competition during the past few months, so I have not been shooting as many new photographs as I would like to. However, I will be doing so in the next few weeks. Nevertheless, I still managed to find time to experiment more […]
