This is my exhibition portfolio from this semester along with some work I've saved from past years for college admissions.

I started these portraits with a simple concept: people in their rooms. For IB, I decided to start exploring the relationship we have with a place that has stayed static through the transience of our lives.

Here are some digital landscapes I've been working on the last few weeks. I took these over Thanksgiving break when I was in Kootenay National Park in Canada. I tried to capture the empty, wild feel that the landscape has as it is so remote in the winter.

This is my comprehensive portfolio from Photo 3/4, with a 10 photo edition from Digital 1/2 as I plan on taking 5/6. My favorite pieces are the toned landscapes and my polaroid emulsion. I think the strongest piece is the black and white digital landscape of Zion National Park.

Write out what your definition of beauty is as it relates to the natural world.  Find an image that exemplifies your definition.

- For me, beauty in relating to the natural world is the experience of feeling peace and viewing the purity of an untouched landscape, separate from human intervention. It also is when you experience the scale ofthe natural world, like the feeling you get when you realize you can't see the other side of the ocean.


Think about a time that you experienced that beauty in nature.  Write what your experience was.
