On August 23, 2025, I was captivated by the beautiful gradient the sky had created that evening.

I enjoy taking photos of things in life that look nice to me like lighting, people, shadows, anything that catches my eye.

I hiked to the top of Diecai Hill in Guilin, China.

John Trevor. None other than John represents more of what Rise stands for.

For me, creativity means coming up with unique ideas and making something freely, without fear of criticism.

I captured this photo on a trip to Peru, visiting the “Salineras de Maras,” or salt mines, of Cusco.

While on a walk I saw a nice view at muir woods it was a super windy and cloudy day and I thought it made the picture look even better.

This picture shows a really big red bridge stretching over some water with a bunch of people standing around looking impressed.

My artwork depicts a seashore completely covered by birds.

I took this photo in a hotel in Tierra Linda near the civic center.

I was walking around a beach near the richmond bridge and saw how beautiful the sun was setting and quickly shot the photo because of how nice and perfect the trail, water, mountains, and sky looked in the moment.

My artwork depicts the beauty of Yosemite Falls.

Even though this is my first year doing photography, I have found to truly enjoy this artform.

This photo was taken at Medicine Lake, where my family has gone every summer for as long as I can remember.

When I made A Quiet Light, I wanted to capture a calm, cozy feeling — that quiet moment when a soft light fills a room.

I took this photo at my school when I had free time.

This photograph captures the motion of a bird mid take off.

When I saw this beautiful scene I just knew I had to take a photo to capture the moment.

This is a low light capture of an antique copper oil holder with a vintage shell lamp in the background.

I always scope the scene to find clustered geometric shapes to make an image that forces the viewer question what is being presented.
