From afar, this piece looks like a blank, beige square. Yet if one takes time to look closely, faces composed from unassuming objects start coming to focus. When I was little, to amuse myself, I would stare at the walls, at the thick white paint plastered in such a way that various textures were apparent, lines thick and thin dancing about the surface. Human brains naturally generalize patterns, excelling at recognizing faces and so I delighted myself in finding shapes of faces in the wall. The world seemed magical to me as a child, a sense that fades with the busyness of maturity. Through this piece, I want the audience to disengage from their chaotic worlds for a while and look for the small things, a tiny face, a little glimmer of light, moments for joy that have been present but undetected all along.

I was hanging out with some of my friends on the weekend and brought my camera to shoot them for a portratrue.

In this captivating photograph, the canvas of the sky is painted in a brilliant blue, creating a vivid backdrop for the idyllic scene. A young, carefree spirit pedals a bike in playful circles around a central water fountain, their laughter echoing in the air. The fountain, a timeless centerpiece, sprays refreshing droplets, catching the sunlight and casting a sparkling allure. People find respite on sturdy benches, engaging in conversations, or basking in a peaceful atmosphere. The verdant trees in the background form a lush backdrop, their leaves rustling in the gentle breeze. The vibrant greenery contrasts harmoniously with the clear, blue sky, creating a picturesque natural beauty.

The piece "End?" was photographed on a Canon DSLR camera, utilizing a UV Filter as a makeshift pink gel. I used negative space to make the central element of the photo, a street sign showing the word "END" and several stray spray paint marks, stand out. My intention with this work was to show the beauty of everyday urban environments, particularly those explicitly considered ugly. Graffiti is largely viewed as vandalism and a mar on neat, clean neighborhoods, but even so, its artistic merit is recognized by part of the public when featured as a cohesive artwork. However, leftover paint marks such as the ones on this sign are just "trashy." "End?" challenges this perception by forcing the audience to focus on this street sign, paint marks and all, and realize how the grungy chaos and explicit lack of cohesiveness creates artwork, and even more than that, a question: the end of what? A dark dash of black paint turns the sign’s warning of a terminating road to an unfinished sentence, “END-”, leaving the audience to fill in the blanks. Was this “vandalism” intentional? Was it previously part of a larger artwork? What happened to it? What will happen to this artwork in the future? Will someone else come along with a can of spray paint and transform it again? How might “End?” itself evolve from its current state? “End?” challenges the forms art takes and questions what the end of an artwork’s life means – or if they ever do.

I love this image because shoes can say a lot about someone. All these people walking by you can look at their shoes; new , old, fancy, basic etc. It says a lot about a person. That's what I like about this picture. It leaves their lifestyle up to the viewer's interpretation just based on shoes...

In photography class we had a project where we needed to take portraits and at school the next day in math class the lighting was good because of the classrooms big windows. Also the sun does not shine into the classroom so there is no glare. After I took the photo I rolled and developed the film. Afterwards I made a contact sheet which is where you can see all your photos and chose which photos you want to enlarge. I decided to enlarge this photo in the darkroom because it looked good and I wanted to give it as a gift to my friend.

This is a photo of my neighbor who I babysit. When I showed him my camera he was very excited and wanted me to take pictures of everything. He is a very sweet and happy kid with a love for trucks. Specifically mail trucks.

This was an assignment for school and I thought I might as well summit it for the creative youth

This photo was taken at one of my favorite places in the world called Croatia in a town called Seline east of Italy and I get to visit every summer which is a big gift to me. every time we leave It's like a small part of me that broke off due to we are leaving friends and family behind. I try to take as many photos as possible to bring back to California so I can bring as much back of Croatia to home.

This piece of art was made to convey a moment about how to be confident and how to express yourself through photography.I decided to use the background of a living room for this photo since extraordinary objects don't always need to be photographed in unique settings. I use vibrance, exposure, color balance, and blur tools to produce this artwork after editing the photo to portray more emotions in black and white.

Looking for some good shots while applying different types of shots.

This artwork is about how beautiful the sky is in the morning when you are just waking up and getting ready to start your day. This shows what the Oakland sky looks like in the morning.
