Colors of Miami

While visiting Florida back in 2011, I brought my Nikon D40 to the beach for the first time. I grabbed this shot while walking towards the shore on beach. I framed what I thought to be some of the most colorful resorts and hotels by the beach there. What I loved most about the photo is how the buildings have this beautiful watercolor look to them. In Lightroom I kept that essence and… Read More

The View of Paris

While making my way up to the top of the Eiffel Tower, I stopped on one of the lower levels of the Tower to grab this shot.

I recently came across this photo while going through some of my old Europe images and couldn’t resist bringing it into Lightroom. There I added an old vintage film… Read More

I believe that it was this moment when I… Read More

Sunset in Siesta Key

This photo was taken 2010 with my Nikon D40 when I was 12 years old! I was on a family summer vacation in Florida but it was the first time I had my very own camera, so I had a lot of fun taking pictures. The original photo was a vertical image with a very dark dark foreground and a blown out sky. Since I’ve learned how to post-process my photos really… Read More
