Extra 2

This image emphasizes movement. I took multiple photos and merged them into one using Photoshop. This was taken at Ocean Beach in San Francisco. The model in the picture is my friend Tyrell. He is doing what is called "freerunning."

Fast Shutter: Frozen in Motion

This photo was taken at Ocean Beach in San Francisco. My friend, Tyrell Bernardo, was doing backflips in the sand and I thought it would look cool if I caught him in mid-air. I especially like how the sand near his feet is frozen as well.

Still life: Grouped Objects

This is a still life photo of the off-camera flash triggers that I own. I lined them up diagonally and used an aperture of f/1.8. Also, I used an external flash pointed toward the ceiling to achieve this lighting.

Portrait: Candid

This candid portrait was taken at the Benihana restaurant in Burlingame. My chef was very focused on his cooking. I took advantage of the situation and snapped a shot of him while he was concentrating on cooking. After taking the photo, however, I edited some of the lighting and sharpening of the photo.

Still life: Single Object

I took this still life photo of one of my little brother's action figures. In this case, a wrestler in a WWF wrestling ring. I was surprised at how many toys my brother had. I took advantage of this and created a scene of this wrestler getting ready to rumble.

Slow Shutter: Movement Blurred

I took this photo while I was driving my car. This photo emphasizes a blurred motion because the foreground/positive space of the image is in focus while the background is blurred due to motion.
