Inspirations

Warning! There is nudity in some of these pictures!

During my first semester at the Academy of Art almost every midterm and final project for my photography classes consisted of emulating the work of another major photographer, whether they were dead or alive. It was definitely a good thing for me because the only names I knew in the photography world were Nigel Barker and Andy Warhol... and I came to learn that most of Andy's work were paintings. So, I'll show you my work by date of the when it came out.

Camera Obscura


 You can see the view of outside my window being projected on my dorm room wall

This is my favorite one because of the bus. It took me about an hour and a half to actually make this happen. I had to cover my huge window with plastic bags so it didnt make any light what so ever. But when I was finished it was so worth it. After I took all these pictures I just lied on the floor and watched people walk on my ceiling. It was sick

When making the camera obscura, I wasnt influenced by a particular person but by the history of the camera. I wanted to show what it was like inside of a camera (like ive been there before haha) but the really cool thing about this is that the image being projected actually flips.

That was all one project, heres another!

This project is called my masters project. We had to choose a master photographer to emulate. I chose Patrick Demarchelier

I'll put his work first

this is my work, I tried to find his version of it but he changed his web site and no longer has it up there but once I find it i'll put it up

rock solid



Spent the day with Ryan down at trails beach in San Clemente. Every time we go down theres always something neat to see. 
today we are free
shoes are beyond our need
the pads of our feet grip the ground
as we run down the dirt path 
without a sound

montage


Long exposure shots are my favorite. Especially when I don't even have a cell phone light to figure out where to focus. I love long exposure because you have to wait longer then you normally do to see the image you just made. But when they turn out great its much more exciting!
 I had to put this one in because it makes me smile. Ryan did this while I was in the shower. I was pretty surprised to see it cause he can barely take a regular picture haha

Aquarium

Soo I decided to make the focus of my blog more on photography instead of fashion, because photography is what I do. From now on, my posts will be about our daily lives. And what I mean by 'ours' is my sisters, boyfriend and I =)

Neon Lights





Heres a bit of a flashback of a late night photo shoot I took before leaving for my first semester of college at the Academy of Art University. I think I used 4 different lights, a bunch of colored paper and a lot of time to make these pictures.

Brazil

Spent two weeks in Brazil and traveled to Fortaleza and Sao Paulo.
View from hotel room in Fortaleza. 





Explored multiple markets on a daily basis in both locations. 
 Sweet old school record player. Love the detail, flower power haha
 Vintage Sunnies 
 These earrings came from angora birds and are now apart of our wardrobe! 
Stars aborning, 
 we take flight 
                to find the morning
           of our night,
                           to ride the lifestream
                 of our day 
                                 and dance a new dream
          on our way
                                    to journey far beyond what seems
                               beyond the worlds of our dreams.
