My goal during this period of isolation has been to try new things and visit new places- within the limitations of quarantine. So, I have been going on hikes in forest area around my house and photographing landscapes that were interesting to me. These 3 photos were taken on the shore of Chapman's Landing Park.

EVACUATION TO THE BEACH DOCUMENTARY I chose to document my alternative Spring Break experience after my internship was cancelled due to COVID-19. I documented initially disappointing experience that led to a fun, unforgettable opportunity during my senior year. I focused a lot on using leading lines and capturing everyday images from my perspective, in the order that I experienced them in order to tell a story.

Slow Shutter Elevator This photo was taken using the Slow Camera app inside of an elevator. I think the photo is very interesting because it plays with motion as well as reflections since the elevator is metal. The reflection of the hand rail and blue wall in the elevator is reflected in the metal door, and blurs to the right creating a more interesting image. I think the door is the main focus since it has a warm color in a photo that is primarily silver and blue tones. 

Morph For this morph photo I combined my photo with Krishia's using photoshop. For this, I placed my face over Krishia's and added a mask over top to erase my features except for the glasses, hair, and hoodie. I think the result was believable as a real person since we were both girls and had similar face shapes already.

Trip-tic This trip-tic was created by resizing the same picture and changing the CMYK values of each to make them contrast in Photoshop. I chose the bright pink, aqua blue, and orange because they contrasted enough to be interesting but still complimented each other as well.

Dip-tic Image This dip-tic was created using a wide shot and detailed shot of the outside of the Basilica. I flipped the wide shot so that there was a mirror effect using the sunlight in both photos. I like the dip-tic design more than the inset images because you get to see both images while still recognizing the similarities and differences in a more complimentary way.  Inset Image This image was also created using 2 photos from different perspectives, but one is overlaying the other in a smaller size. I aligned the smaller image where it has similar features to the larger one, like in the treelike, branches, and sun flare. This was more interesting to me than having it in the center or corners and showed the relationship more clearly.

I used the photo editing apps Snapseed and PicsArt. In Snapseed, I double exposed a picture of books from a shelf  onto one of a concrete, textured wall. Next, I used a dark, neon filter from PicsArt to make the books stand out and look almost ghostly. The result was a spooky, dark looking picture.

This portrait was taken right before Britta's indoor soccer game while she was stretching. I used portrait mode to place all the focus and detail on the bottom of her shoes and blur out the rest of her hands and body. 

This photo was taken across the courtyard of Mullen Library to make a simple portrait more interesting. I made the image very symmetrical and had Sydney stand in one of the windows in the stacks.

This photo is during a meeting, of a new member named Mohammod that I hadn't met before. This photo is of Blanca sitting outside of the Pryz after class. This photo is of Michael at a leadership training in a hotel.

This picture was taken in-between posed shots and really captured the subject's personality. It was taken using a light through a transparent glass door to give it a moon-like appearance. Then I applied a noir filter to make the photo more dramatic, in contrast to the funny pose.
