Portrait Series

Naman Shah, A Baseball Fanatic

People say a photo is worth a million words. That’s exactly what my photo does. My model is an avid baseball fanatic. This portrait series depicts his enthusiasm and dedication towards baseball. I wanted my series to tell a story. He started off as a child playing catch during a moment of boredom, but as time progressed he went on to become a professional player.

                This series was originally shot in color at a straight forward angle, but the effect was much greater when it was converted to grayscale. I want people to be inspired by this series, to take their hobby to the next level. Who knows, my model just may be the next Alex Rodriguez. 

Photo Walk 2/16

I find this photograph interesting because although every desk is the same, the contents of the desk tops are different according to student that sits in them. the rhythm of the desks adds a deeper effect to the photograph.

The Annoyance of Snow

The snow can be very annoying for me BECAUSE I HATE CLEANING IT. I wish it never snowed, why cant it just rain? Although, the snow can be very beautiful, i wish there was a way for it to clean itself up.

Artistic Inspirations

David Graham Photography

David Graham travels across the country to take inspirational photographs like the one above. This particular photo is a part of his “Almost Paradise” collection and it was taken in Burbank. The painting behind the car does seem like paradise, the perfect fruit tree on a bright and cloudless day almost makes you want to escape into the picture itself. 

Shakespeare's House, Stratford

In this photograph Alan Klug captures the true beauty of the house in every aspect. Every little detail of the flowers and the vines on the house is captured, I feel as if I could almost touch them. These photographs of his really inspire me to make my photos have more depth like his. 

Anna 17, Winchester MA, 2009

Rania Matar’s “A Girl and her Room” collection really inspired me. It shows that no matter what a girl may like or how she looks, her room is something that keeps her safe. Every room is unique as the girl that it beholds. Matar’s photography really inspired me to take a deeper look into the rooms she has photographed.

Crystal Gayle Zacharias

Kitchen Wall Art, By Crystal Gayle Zacharias is inspiration because of its precision and sharpness, you could almost grab the peppers. This picture inspires me to sharpen my photographs and make them look as real.

Barnett Newman

Barnett Newman wasn't really unappreciated until the end of his career. His abstract paintings are highly motivational and his usage of bold colors caught my eyes.
