I thought it would be fun to post five of my favorite photos every Friday– restricted to only photos I’ve taken– and today is the kick-off celebration. I come from a background of videography and editing but photography is something I enjoy so much, too. A few years ago I got my first “professional” camera and I was off and running. I’ve gravitated towards wildlife, candid photos, sunsets and astrophotography, and silhouettes. There’s just so much to capture in this beautiful world. All that to say, how can I as an indecisive person decide which 5 photos to share on this first Five-Photo Friday? Do I go with wildlife, nature, abstract designs, people? As I look through my galleries this week, I’m most drawn to the one called “Created Images” so let’s go with that. Here are my five favorite “creative” photographs. Hope you enjoy!
This one is not so different from the original, but I really enjoy the bright pink (almost a 90s-style hot pink) wash over these leaves. I can imagine this framed in a modern home.
I remember exactly where I was when I took this photo. I was sitting in the passenger seat while my dad was driving for a family gathering in Orlando, Florida. The lights were from oncoming traffic, but then I went in and did a duplication effect to give it a modern, abstract style. Even a photo that could’ve been deleted can turn into something worth looking at!
This is a montage of 3 photos, the most dominant being a wood fence. Would you believe it was part of a fence in a parking lot of a golf course country club? If memory serves, it was “hiding” the dumpster but hey, someone’s trash is another man’s treasure, as they say. I added in the visuals of tiny flower petals and some long pine needles to complete the image.
This might be my #1 favorite in this gallery. It reminds me of some type of martial arts logo. Maybe it’s nostalgic because I grew up with the original karate kid movies, I don’t know. But seahorses are cool, anyway, and the model for the photo was a seahorse that had washed up on shore when I was at the beach one day. Fascinating to see one up close, that’s for sure!
Who doesn’t love fish bones, right? 🥴 Oddly, this one is another favorite even if it might seem a little morbid. The fish remnants were perfectly in tact on a north Florida shoreline, and I enjoyed creating an image that’s less morbid, more colorful, but still with a hint of peculiarity.
Well, that was fun. Hope you enjoyed just a handful of my favorite photos. For the rest of my professional photos (wildlife, black and white, nature, people, etc) check out my galleries on SmugMug.
