Favourite Photos (so far)



Top Left: This is a simpler photo, but I'm still a fan of the colours and the angle at which it was taken.

Top Right: I'm a big fan of this photo, not only because of how well the "trick photography" effect worked out, but because of the focus on the hand and Malery's arm.

Bottom Centre: I think that the natural lighting in this photo really enhances it - but the focus on the object, with Nicole in the background, also looks very nice.

Photo Friday Texture Challenge


I've decided to enter this picture to Photo Friday's weekly contest. This week, the focus is on texture. I took this photo about a week ago of a pinecone in my backyard, while trying to practice in-focus shots.

Alphabet Collage


This is the alphabet collage I created as part of a class assignment. I genuinely enjoyed taking the pictures - I think it helped expand my creativity in seeing potential photograph subjects. Editing the photos was a bit more challenging, but I did like experimenting with different options on Photoshop and discovering which style appealed to me. I appreciated that, although it was very difficult for me to find photos at first, it became easier as soon as I knew what I was looking for.

Photography Tricks

Photos by myself & Malery.

To take this picture, I stood on a dais and Malery stood below me. I took the photo while reaching towards the shadow of her hand.

I took this photo of Malery against a white backdrop, and at an angle in order to make the view look more realistic.

This photo was taken by Malery and by using forced perspective. I stood on top of a table while Malery cupped her hand to make it look like I was standing in it.
