On the beaches of Bodega Bay, CA I took this shot of my friend as the sun slowly annoyed him more and more. The expression on his face is interesting and I enjoy the placement of the shadows. It's a simple shot that shows that I have been experimenting with portraits and try to improve. … Continue reading Shadow play & Progress
Fallen Steps
A quick shot I took while enjoying the sun in Bodega Bay, CA. It's not close to being my best shot but I enjoy taking shots like these. I kind of wish I was able to take another shot of just of the man in the far left as I felt like that would be … Continue reading Fallen Steps
Think Freely
I shot I took of my friend between poses, I will go back and crop out the end of his sunglasses. It's a shot that hides his face but shows a natural expression. The sun was striking his face pretty hard and thus we moved on to different poses. Not my best shot, maybe it … Continue reading Think Freely
Framing
Another shot of my friend as we explored the beaches of Bodega Bay. I believe it is one of my best portraits but I can see that it needs some work. I like his expression and his eyes. This angle really shows off the difference between his eyes. The shadow is casted nicely on his … Continue reading Framing
Keep Moving
Took this shot at Bodega, CA in my hotel room. The room was pretty spacious but my favorite feature was this window.

Atmosphere & Emotion
Took this shot while resting in my hotel room in Bodega Bay, California. Was trying to piece together a short photographic film about alcoholism. I still might do it but for now it's a work in progress. The bottle is actually just a bottle of water. I don't drink anymore nor does my friend. However, … Continue reading Atmosphere & Emotion
Adversity and Mentality Through the Waves
My gracious friend posing for me as we walked around Bodega Bay, CA. It was just after sunset so I had to think creatively to take his portrait. I used a good amount of shadows and played around with positioning. He took my direction well and was patient. This is one of the many pictures … Continue reading Adversity and Mentality Through the Waves
