This is my portfolio of photography, both digital and film. I was in a Photography II class at Manual, and I took Photo I last year. I'll specify which photos are for class.
This year, for a competition called the Scholastics Art and Writing Awards, we're required to submit a photography portfolio with a cohesive theme. This is similar to the concentrations I've done in my art studio class, and I have chosen to examine the archetypal relationships between men and women for my theme. I used black and white paint for symbolism and to unify the images. Some of the images for this portfolio are a little disturbing, I apologize in advance.
