Innocence

My family is a very important part of my life, they will always be there for you through it all. Here's a few shots of my niece's Anya (top) and Vera (bottom). Shot with a Nikon D5000.

Saint Rose of Lima, Rochester, MA

I enjoy shooting statues that have interesting positions. This Statue (B&W at bottom) is no more than 3 feet tall, and this angle makes the viewer think that it could be a life like statue. I didn't really notice how much the angle changed this shot until I opened it up on my macbook. I made it black and white because I wanted the viewer to focus on the angle of the shot.

The shots of the flowers with the statue behind are a couple of my favorites from this shoot. I usually do not use my flash to prevent distortion of the subject matter, which I think ruins the shot. But the I used the flash for about 20 different shots on the flower to get the veins of the flower to show in the image.

The photograph of the sign at the very top is another thing I like to do. I really like to angle my shots because sometimes you can distort the image in a good way. Angle can elongate or widen most inadament objects. This was a super fun shoot in which I took over 200 shots.

Elements of Contrast

This photo is from a shoot I did at the Rochester Congregational Church. I took both my Cannon AE-1 35 mm & my Nikon D5000 dslr. I used a color filter for this shot so I could get the deep pop of the flower that you see. The contrast in this photo is what makes it. Again you can see hints of my love for depth of field. Color filters can always be fun to play around with on shoots. Thanks for checking it out, Cheers!

Cruisin' Newport

These are a few select shot's from a trip I took to Newport, RI earlier this summer, Shot with my Nikon D5000. The more I shoot the more I utilize depth of field into my work. This was just a spur of the moment trip, not intending to shoot anything, I just took some quick shots to document the trip.
