"Surrealism had a great effect on me because then I realized that the imagery in my mind wasn't insanity. Surrealism to me is reality."

- John Lennon

Portfolio

This is what I have been working on in my visual reporting class through out my last semester at Cal State Fullerton. I have really enjoyed this class and have learned alot about different forms of photography. It certainly has been a journey and I am very happy with what I have created as a whole within this class.

Location Portraits

I absolutely love taking photographs where I can emerge myself in the envirnoment and create new and fresh ways of looking at the world. These images I feel embody a type of dream like or beautifully surreal atmosphere. I throughly enjoy taking photographs that can be looked as fashion, portraits or something entirely new. Mixing a sense of art and style into one to make photographs that draw the viewer and the subjects in is a element I love about this type of photography.

Venice Beach

For my final photo essay I decided to concentrate on the culture of Venice Beach. I have always loved coming here since I was a little kid, and I honestly feel there is no other beach in Southern California that is like Venice Beach. This place is almost like its own little subculture, filled with different events,activities, and walks of life. Venice Beach takes you away into a world of wonder and excitement.
