Scholarship Portfolio

These are images that I consider my best work from the past 2 semesters. I have selected these images to represent a portfolio for an Art Department Scholarship. Below you will see that I have chosen 3 portraits and 3 different documentary projects. 

"Spring Break in Padre"

"Commerce, Texas - A Place To Call Home."

"The Loss of Pink"

easter mini session

this is a photo i took over easter weekend with my 85 1.8 lens. i love what the look of a low f/stop!

grave side

more photos from visiting my mamaw's grave on the 1 year anniversary of her death. it's odd to see how much has changed in a year's time.

Student Art Show

Super excited to share that this year 2 of my 3 pieces were selected for the student show! The first image is from my gallery show last semester that was over the town if commerce. The second image is from a documentary series I did on the death of my great grandmother last spring.

side work

so, for my tilt shift images i went around to different parking garages to shoot from the top level. when i got up there i fell in love with the lonely feeling of the lights at night. so i started shooting the different garages i went to. these shots will turn into my final for my urbanism class. i've already started shooting more since i took these images.

 

tilty shifty

tilt shift is where you take a normal image scene and make it appear miniature. i started with using the tilt shift lens from our photo department but couldn't figure out how to use it correctly. so, these images were edited in lightroom to appear to be tilt shift's.

 

 

 

1 year anniversary

This past Friday was the 1 year anniversary of the death of my great grandmother Margie Ray. I wanted to remember her in a different way. Over the past month i've been sorting through old photos with my mom. we came across one of my Mamaw when she was in her early 20's. I fell in love with the photo and attempted to duplicate it for myself. So here is the attempt and also polaroid's that i took of her grave. The bottom image was taken with a 4x5 film camera. my purpose with the photograph was to try and make it look as close to the image of my mamaw as possible. it was my first time using the 4x5 so i didn't know how to fully use it. that's why i chose to go with just using a digital camera. with the digital camera i was able to take a quick photo and with the 4x5 it was a minute and thirty second exposure. as you can tell, i wasn't able to stay very still while the shutter stayed open.
