The Adorable Squishmallows
Combining all learned techniques for one squishy finale.
The Squishmallow Army is taking over campus. These nocturnal critters, albeit friendly in appearance and soft as a cloud, stare into the soul of those who wander by. All photos taken with the lowest possible aperture for its shutter speed, all pics except for the 10th (ISO 100) taken at ISO 200 and shutter speed varied based on lighting exposure, from 15 seconds for the Wildcat and Memorial Stadium to 1/20 of a second for drinks.

Me and My Car
Self-portrait with my most loyal companion.
Me, my car, and a Midwest sunset on a farm. For this self-portrait assignment, I framed myself looking out with my shades, looking out into the horizon and striking a dramatic pose to set the tone.

Bowling Frustration
Capturing lifestyle; for me and my team, that's bowling.
Dizzie leads the women's bowling team, but much like most bowlers, experiences frustration missing out on a strike. Although grabbing the spare, she could not convert the fill shot into 10. Due to its lighting and perspective restrictions, bowling is one of the hardest sports to photograph, but Dizzie's reaction with the pin left standing in the back tells the whole story.

Caddy the Cadillac
Shooting a product video.
My first car, Caddy the Cadillac, is one of a kind. If I were to make a video for the greatest car model to ever exist, this short Cadillac CTS 2008 would be it.
My Ring and Me
Shooting ecommerce and a themed photoshoot.
This assignment came in two parts: ecommerce and a themed photoshoot. I love the way my ring catches sunlight, so I used it for my ecommerce and took the photo with it on my finger to give scale. I grabbed my favorite desk trinkets for my themed photoshoot, and my mousepad was a nice framing device.
This Andover class ring showcases the blue zircon’s premiere cut brilliance in a white lustrium shell. The sides feature a bowling ball and pins and a trumpet, two of the student’s hobbies. This photo was taken looking towards Memorial Stadium at Kansas State University with the sun facing the camera. It sounds contradictory, but the gemstone shimmered more with the sun not directly on it. The photo was taken with an iPhone 13 Pro and lightly edited in Lightroom.

Flowers for McCain
Focusing on the flowers of McCain Auditorium.
Flowers caught my eye outside of McCain Auditorium, and I knew I had to take as many shots as possible to capture their beauty. Another thing that caught my eye in the landscape was a red cylindrical pipe in the garden, and I made sure to include that along with the same specific rose bush in each photo. The photos were taken with a variety of aperture settings, f-stops and shutter speeds to capture different light exposures and depths of field. The photos are raw out of the camera, no editing done.
Night Perspectives
Finding unique perspectives around campus.
Taken on a warm September night, a bright moon filled the night sky. The first shot explores finding a conceptual perspective as I throw a "Go Cats" in front of the moon, the second explores one-point linear perspective and the third exemplifies physical perspective, using depth and repeating patterns showcasing the size of the light poles.
My Walk to Class
Applying basic photography ideas around the university.
All shots were taken on a bright Tuesday August morning. Some of the photos were lightly edited in Lightroom with a Canon EOS Rebel T3i and an 18-55 mm lens.
Purple umbrellas outside the Kansas State Student Union provide cover from the elements for passersby to study, eat lunch or chat. The Union is the social hub in the middle of campus, providing meal options, shopping, entertainment and student resources.
Taken on the balcony of the Glenwood apartments, the banister leads the eye towards the sun, or maybe the sun leads to the banister? The bright morning sun lights the Manhattan area for students walking and driving to school.
Ahearn’s windows make for a great repetitious pattern. Ahearn does not have much limestone, but there is some left on the west side where these window units are located.
