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.

I started to enjoy trying to figure out ways to capture the model and the water. This experience just showed me that to be a photographer … Continue reading Shadows
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
