13"x19" Digital Photographic Collage, May 2012.
This photograph was a part of my digital photography portfolio for Fine Arts 2270: Digital Photography as taught by Vancouver artist Ana Black. For this image, I was inspired by one of photographer Cindy Sherman’s 1979 untitled film series photographs, of her sitting on a bed, looking rather upset. As Sherman was famous for in her series, I setup my room with different clues as to what may have caused myself to be upset – from condoms on the nightstand and an opened one on the bed to money thrown on the bed – all of which added to the construction of the image.

25"x25" Digital Photographic Collage, May 2012.
This collage was a part of my digital photography portfolio for Fine Arts 2270: Digital Photography as taught by Vancouver artist Ana Black. This photo joiner collage was designed in the style of British artist David Hockney. In June 2012, I shot an old set of electric polls situated on Granville Island - a reminder of the kind of polls that were common in the old industrial areas of Vancouver surrounding False Creek.
personal history
13"x19" Digital Photographic Collage, June 2012.
This collage was a part of my digital photography portfolio for Fine Arts 2270: Digital Photography as taught by Vancouver artist Ana Black. This collage used two to three dozen scanned photos from different stages of my life, and combined them onto different layers, at different levels of exposure and opacity in Photoshop in June 2012.
panorama
60"x12" Digital Photographic Print, June 2012.
For my panorama, I shot a number of photographs in the empty parking lot of the Starlight Casino in New Westminster. The photographs were shot in a style similar to my Wal-Mart series, where a number of stills at different lengths of exposure were shot and combined using Photoshop. Those HDR files were then combined using Photoshop’s panorama option.
