I personally, was unhappy with the bagel shots that I got on the food shoot day. A couple days after that shoot, my mom brought home a very large bag of peppers. The lighting in my room was beautiful, so I put two and two together and decided to shoot some peppers. I cooked and salted them and arranged them in a specific layout on a very aesthetic wooden cutting board I made in the eighth grade. Of course, I wanted the largest aperture I could get, so I used the macro. In post, I took out some of the detail in the blacks to give the photo a more dreamy and soft feel. I also made it slightly more magenta, because the initial capture was a little too yellow for the style  wanted to portray.

This photo conveys a messages of escape. To get out of the hustle and bustle of the city and to find yourself in the serenity of the open space. You can step back and see the night sky and the congested cities from afar. This is created by spinning a lit whisk around your body and rotating so the long exposure results in a spherical orb of light. Edits include lighting up the ground more, increasing saturation, and cleaning excessive noise.

This photo is a single exposure aided with rapid flashes in quick succession. I swung my arms down from top to middle, and my partner standing behind me swung her arms down from middle to bottom. With five quick flashes, this results in me having 20 arms. I also edited in another portrait of me since the original was out of focus and slightly blurry.
