Environmental Photo of a Classmate
On October first, we were sent out to take environmental portraits of classmates. The goal was to learn something about each other, but also to play with lighting and to practice Expositional photography, or environmental portraiture. For this photo, I photographed a classmate, and friend, LeAnn Johnson. Johnson enjoys artwork, though doesn’t get a lot… Read more

Playing with Light and Location
While traversing the old, abandoned towns of Bodie and Molson, I realized some of the lighting being cast was beautiful and worth trying to use. I’ve learned, over the last year, especially, that I am much stronger at utilizing strobe than I am at using natural light. As such, I am working to utilize natural… Read more

Okanagan County Ghost towns
We left town early morning, driving through small towns, open lands, and mountain passes. Our first real stop: Bodie, WA. But to get there, we had to travel through Sherman Pass. Entering the pass was startling. The area is surrounded by forest, however, the forest was fire touched, and all that was remaining were acres… Read more

On The Street, Again
July 3rd, 2025 Spokane hosted a carnival that we decided to attend. The atmosphere was calm and almost sleepy. The event was low key, but was able to get some okay shots, while shooting from the hip. Shooting street photography in Spokane makes me miss Seattle and Federal way, as it felt like there was… Read more

Myself in another still life
I’ve realized that, thus far, my still life’s have proven to be self portraits. In this case, it’s about a hobby I’ve been a part of since 2014 but also about who I am. I have a very strong attachment to Celtic history, starting to lean more Norse. In that, I use drinking horns, have… Read more

Street-Esque
We live in a medium sized city and went out to shoot street photography. Only the streets felt empty and boring, compared to the large city’s I have been to (Reno, Seattle, etc.) While this is not so much sweet, I would argue there is still importance in the emptiness. The quiet feeling in areas… Read more

Minimalism
We often see the big picture, the full image, through our eyes. But sometimes, it’s beneficial to look at the smaller image. The things that make up the larger picture. The small moments, and items, like moss on a tree, or the way the old snarls in wood take on their own feature, as if… Read more

Take a Swing
She stands strong, awaiting the coming ball. The ball flies towards her, and she swings. Some batters wear pants, she wears dresses. She stands strong as her movement whips her loose hair, a soft breeze adding to the whirlwind. She hits the ball, and laughs in childhood glee and an unknown strength. Confidence. Read more

You Should See Me in A Crown
Idea for photo shoot from Billy Eilish and current woman rights issues We have been taught for centuries that girls and woman are meant to be seen, not heard. We are not supposed to be loud, or strong, or independent. We are meant to depend on others and be dainty and soft spoken. She, however,… Read more

Along the Path
We drove along a path that was winding back and forth, at Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge, all the while watching for some sort of wildlife to show itself. It was late fall and the snow had yet to fall, though the earth seemed to be crawling back into itself, to start a long torpor session.… Read more
