This photo was inspired by my sister, who always climbs up trees and rocks. It is also the product of the isolation that I feel from months of quarantine.

This photograph illustrates the dichotomy between freedom and security through the use of the multiple exposure technique. The photograph was composed of several separate images which had been edited into a single frame; and these images include a mountain slope, a forrest landscape, a lake scene, and a cloud. Despite the fact that the pristine landscapes contained within the jars are shielded from external influence, they remain a pale imitation of nature in a free state, which is reflected by the escaping cloud. The cloud becomes increasingly solid as it exits its container, although the vibrance of the sky contained within the jar appears to fade into the grey background, revealing the consequences of freedom.

This photo was taken in San Francisco at Ocean Beach. The waves were perfect and I made it my goal to get a unique photo. I ended up finding a hill way deep into the sunset district, and when I climbed up the hill I was gifted with this amazing view. To this day, this photo is one of my favorites.

This photo was taken up on Mt. Tamalpais. The fog was flowing over a ridge on the east side of the mountain, and I hiked down this dirt road to get a unique vantage point. The light was very interesting as it was starting to disappear and the fog had very intense textures. I decided to take a long exposure to exaggerate the light and the textures on the fog.

Digital photograph inspired by Renaissance paintings. In this self portrait, I worked with the exposure time, capturing a light trail coming from my face. I want to give the viewer a look into my soul and get to know me and how I see the world.

This photograph is part of my Exploring Darkness series. The figure is in motion; her hair is flowing around her. The overall pink and gray hue points toward a mixture of rosy innocence, the dark red blood of wounds, and the overlooking gray of impending death and decay. The girl appears as a phantom; one does now know whether she is dead or alive.

This photo is meant to show the beauty of something as simple as light shining through a tree. We spend so much of our lives buried in our phones and our own worries that we forget to look up and see all the beauty that surrounds us. This photo is just an example of what we would see if we looked up to see the wondrous world around us.

Using a digital camera, this photo was created based on the idea of a business man being transported to another dreamlike world on his way to work.

I took this photo while on a trip to Vietnam. At night in the city of Hoi An there were beautiful lanterns floating down the river.

This photo is the epitome of Bay Area Sunsets. The layering of the clouds highlights the movement above the brightly colored sun setting and the giant mountain. The scene reminds me that not everything is permanent and all the temporary, small problems in life shouldn’t be dwelled on because like sunsets, life is short, and should be enjoyed.

This photo was taken using a pinhole camera in order to contrast the stoic buildings in San Francisco with the cars and people constantly rushing by on the streets.

This image was taken in Portugal. It is overlooking a cliff side village by the ocean on a cloudy, muggy day. I found that the similarity to all the buildings creates almost a calming affect when looked at.

I was inspired by the many sunset posts I saw on social media. I grabbed my camera, trying to capture the perfect angle. It wasn’t until this photo that I was able to catch a glimpse of the moon.

This piece focuses on the human tendency to tap in and out of focus. I used my friend as an example of how quickly a person can connect with someone else and then disconnect within seconds.

Every day we wake-up, eat breakfast, take our Zoom calls, eat dinner, and go to bed. Then we repeat it again the next day. Very rarely do any of us take the time to admire the beautiful world around us. This photo is meant to highlight the simple beauty of the sun shining on a patch of sand at sunset. We don't need to travel to Hawaii or Italy or Bora Bora to find picturesque scenes; we just have to take a second and look away from our daily rituals to find the beauty in the everyday.
