Umbrella

I photographed this umbrella one day as it sat in my house collecting dust. Its unique beautiful design and antique asian style caught my attention and I felt the need to photograph it.  I photographed it several differnt ways; however this was my favorite since I added movement to give the umbrella a more dramatic and realistic feel. 

Detail

This is a detail of a high rise building in Los Angeles, California. Architectural detail photographs can be very abstract, like this one shown. The graphic appeal to the building is shown here by zooming into the side of the building and using the lighting to emphasizing the windows. 

Abstract

This is an abstract image I took by shooting through a glass. The red in the image is a lampshade and the white is a piece of paper. When you look at this photo, there appears to be movement because of the design in the glass.

Reflections

Reflections in photography can lead to some amazing effects and extraordinary images that pop off the screen. The use of water, windows, mirrors or any kind of reflective surface can change the feel of the whole image. The thing about using reflections is that you never know how exactly it will change an ordinary image into something richer and more artistic.These reflections I have photographed where all taken on Cape Cod amongst different harbors. 

Style

This series of photos was created for an assignment last semester. The purpose of the assignment was to produce photographs that bridge a gap from our own style to the commercial world. The first photograph in this series is the abstract lobster trap, then the close up of the claw and finally the photo that could be used commercially of the lobster.
