Portrait Series 2.


The photo on the right is high key, while the photo on the bottom left is more low key. On the top left is a more neutral photo, and all photos together compliment one another to amplify the beuaty of each.

Potrait series 1.


I made these photos darker to show the true emotion and feeling of the person captured. All three are sepia colored and give off an eerie and sad feeling towards the viewer.

Artistic Inspirations

Blue Guitar, Pablo Picasso

Picasso's interesting use of color and interpretation of emotion strikes me as a very outstanding quality of art. All of his work seems to make me think about the underlying message of it.
The Starry Night, 1988 Vincent Van Gogh

 
 Van Gogh uses dark colors beautifully in his painting, and this one in particular is probably my favorite painting of all time. I love the way the night blends in with everything else.


The Grotto of the Loue, 1864, Gustave Courbet
Courbet is a phenomenal painter, and this painting in particular is a very special landscape portrait. It makes me visualize the outdoors and nature's beauty.

Migrant Mother, 1936 Dorothea Lange

 Dorothea Lange was an extraordinary photographer, and this photo proves it. I love the way that she captures the mother's full emotion. It makes viewers wonder about what she is thinking.


3D Street Art, Edgar Mueller
This is also one of my favorite works. Mueller combines stunning artwork with a 3-dimensional illusion that would amaze just about anyone. It's no wonder why this is one of my favorite artists.
