Here, I wanted the focus to be on the horse to the right. I captured a moment when the horse was looking at me, making the composition. This was a recreation picture from images of wild horses. I wanted to show a change in time through depicting how horses were once wild and free and now they are groomed, always behind a fence, and trained to do specific things. To create this image, I walked by a horse farm and reacted to what the horses were doing. Luckily, they were curious and walked toward me, making them excellent subjects to photograph.

In this image, I juxtaposed a couple with initials carved into a tree. While the meaning of this photo could be debatable, it is obvious that I meant to draw a correlation from the tree to the couple. This image was an accident, surprisingly, in that I didn’t notice the carvings in the trees until I cropped the image from its original size. I saw the couple walking outside and decided to creep up on them and take a few pictures without them noticing. To my advantage, the tree was in focus, making the picture have a whole new meaning then when I first took it. I wanted to capture the couple aimlessly walking, but instead I capture the tree. Luckily, the picture worked out well.

In these two photos, I was trying to place the emphasis on the doors, while showing how nature has covered up a human-made object. I like posing these two images together, complimenting the likeness of one another. I like to think the viewer is outside of the doors, about to walk in, as I was when I took these pictures. To create these, I simply noticed how trees and bushes were covering the doors and decided to capture it. I took these in midday light, without any artificial lighting. While doors are a common gateway to a room, they could be a gateway to another world.
