I’ve just created a photo book that will be up for purchase soon.. The title is called Contrasting Emotion. I’ve wanted to make something like this for awhile now but wasn’t sure how to pack so many photos together that all have relevance or create a story so I did my best to compare imagesContinue reading “Final Book Project”

This is isn’t my usual type of night photography and setting especially using a little Sony Infinity6000 as well as shooting from the inside of a vehicle.

I enjoy making triptychs because of the story line that can be perceived through them. The story behind this series is a simple BBQ. I love the process of making food but charcoal grills can be a pain and although it’s a pain I find the process kind of beautiful.

These photos represent aspects and elements of photography that also apply to other media that help categorize the perspective and context of the image. In knowing the verbiage to describe or act on a creative flow is important for yourself and others. Take a second and try to describe each photo; below I will haveContinue reading “A PHOTO-COMPOSITION”
