I love flowers and recently i have been trying to figure out ways to make photographs of them look more compelling rather than the standard boring photograph. Here is one of my examples.

cotton candy water

This series was based off of melting cotton candy at coney island. i really enjoyed the composition of these 3 pictures, and how i set them up when they are printed.

soooo actually i want to use color.

I decided to use color.... because it looks so much better, and adds so much more personality to the photograpahs. 

selfies yooo

today i worked on my homework assignment, which was to take self portraits. im meh with the turn out, they are not exactly what i wanted, but its alright. i think this is the hard part about shooting in nyc...there are people everywhere, im in an ugly dorm room with not much natural light, and its difficult to find desserted places to shoot, theres so much going on everywhere. anyways, here they are:

hannah series

This series is a representation of my best friend hannah. it may be hard to tell through the photographs, but each one of them is a certain aspect of her personality/favorite things to do. it may of been to literal, but i really enjoyed how it turned out. i miss hannah so much, oh so much, and this photoshoot made me think of her even more.

This was in DUMBO, and I personally really enjoyed the composition.

miss her.

I never knew I would miss this drama queen so much. I love these photos even though they are so creepy, but they are 2 of my favorite pictures I have ever taken, or at least the shoot was my favorite. My parents hate these pictures, but my sisters real personality is not to be shown through them whatsoever. I miss ella so much, her dramatic, bratty attitude, but the sweet kisses and snuggles, and comments she makes. Whenever I call her on the phone her voice just makes me happy. The cute "CAROLINE I MISS YOU", is the one thing that makes me want to go home. I never thought a sister who is 10 years younger than me could be my best friend.

antiques

These three pictures are from my all time favorite antique show, Brimfield. (I love antiques). The show is one of the biggest, longest, and most amazing antique show in the world. It is over a mile long, and each of the fields are pact with jewelry, old furniture, bizarre objects, so many. Each time I go I have taken pictures because the things that are scrambled around this place are so interesting and special. Taking pictures here means something, and I have continued to follow a trend of taking them every time I go, and have developed a large collection of them, both with b&w and color film. Enjoy!

fourth of july

today was the 4th of july even though it is actually the 5th right now. we went to central park, then downtown to pier 54 and watched the fireworks, after we went to unidiner and got breakfast for dinner. quality day, although my feet hurt quuiite a bit.

This photograph is also one of my all time favorites because of what is represented. My home is expressed in this picture through the colors, textures, soft light, my crazy sister, the dog walking around, basically every little aspect. I also love the composition and placement from above. This picture most importantly makes me feel at home. Looking at it in New York is secretly making me a bit homesick, but oh well. My family means the world to me, and a common trend in a lot of my photography are images that represent something personally meaningful. My love for this photograph will never change.
