The central idea of my concentration is to have self-portraits of me but masking myself. I use the different colored lighting to give a sense of distortion to my photographs.

My concentration's main focus is today's fashion. I took a lot of photos using variety of styles, clothing, shoes,makeup, accessories and anything that falls in the fashion line. Also the backgrounds I use was either it matched the model's fashion style or didn't related at all. I did this because I didn't want it to be a super cliche photo shoot. The backgrounds made it look unique and different. I chose this to be my concentration because fashion is my passion. I will be attending college to be a fashion designer. I figured since I love fashion and photography, I would be able to collaborate them together.

For my concentration I decided to do portraits/environmental portraits. Basically I go walk around where I live and photograph what goes on in my neighborhood and also just photograph people posing. The reason I chose to do this for a concentration is because I like showing people what I see through my eyes and how I see the world. I’m not the type of photographer that just goes around taking pictures; I look for certain qualities for certain pictures for example, mysterious. I like photographing those type of picture where someone has that mysterious look about them and the environment ( the right type of environment) adds on to the picture and as well as making a connection with the person or people in the photograph.

For my concentration, I am emphasizing the texture and pattern of everyday objects by photographing close-up. These objects are both man-made and natural. I want the viewer to notice all of the unique surfaces that can be found in the man-made and natural world. I am utilizing both black and white darkroom prints and color digital prints. When it is just the texture that I am drawn to, black and white is fine. But sometimes there is a dramatic sense of color to go along with the textures. That's when I use my digital camera.
