Demi, Emma, Izzy - 11/5/16 Photo series

Isolation Photo Series - In this series of photos we wanted to capture the idea of being alone despite the fact we were in an extremely populated area. It shows that despite how many people may be around you, you can still feel like there is no one there.

Photo Essay: Gabriel

I decided to shoot my best friend Gabriel during a sleepover we had. We have been a huge part of each others lives for the last three years, both supporting each other no matter what. When I first met Gabriel he was very sick, and it was really hard to be friends with him because he was so destructive. Now he's a year sober and I couldn't be more proud, I cherish every moment I spend with him knowing that this is the real him. We always have crazy sleepovers and go out at night and take pictures and explore the city so I wanted to capture all the fun times we have had together because we are both ridiculous. 

Week 2 Homework - Demi Pena-Chavez

This is my favorite photo from our shooting trip in Union Square. I like this photo because it reminds me a lot of fall and it feels very seasonal. I also really like the colors of the corn and the texture, as well as the pumpkins in the background. This uses the patterns and symmetry technique.

Experiment

Semester Series - I am thinking about doing a photo shoot of women and girls and show how their bodies actually are, to go against the unrealistic beauty standard society gives women and girls.

Week 1 Homework - Demi Pena-Chavez

This is a photo I took last December while at a flea market with my best friend. After going around the entire flea market, we snuck up to the roof of the building and started having a photo shoot. I like this photo because my friend is a super important person in my life, as well as all of my friendships. I also like it because you can see an amazing view of manhattan, from the statue of liberty to downtown, but he is still the main focus of the picture. I love the contrast of his black coat with the mostly light blue/white background and I love the his pose and facial expression, he looks very much at peace.

This is a photo I took in my sisters room. I choose this photo because my sister is a big part of my life, and together growing up we use to share this room. My family and friends are super important to me and I value them very much.
