My photography i s usually about people. I usually take pictures at events. I edit my pictures using Lightroom and mainly concentrate on the essentials. I love photography because their is a special type of magic when you first see the image appear on the paper slowing through the fog of the chemicals.

Story Telling

• What I got out of this project? I really enjoy using this medium for sharing and creating content for sharing images.
• How I took these pictures? I was at the Festival of Trees and I was taking pictures to be given as a thank you for our Buena Photography CTSO for the Sierra Vista Mall.
• How I edited the pictures? all of the images were edited using Lightroom; cropping and basic edits (exposure, contrast, highlights/shadows, whites/blacks)
• What type of composition styles did you use? All of the images use a simple isolation as the main composition style, but often I use multiple composition styles even in cropping (rule of thirds, leading lines, etc...)
• Tell Me More: I was an fun experience to have special access to the tree, but I decided to take a few images on the way out to show to my students how to isolate using bokeh and it ended up being a compact story all of it's own.
