SCHOLASTIC PORTFOLIO
Awarded a Gold Key for my portfolio by Scholastic
Art and Writing in 2015 validated and encouraged
as an artist. In the body of work, I featured portraits of
local people I encounted while parcipating in Rustic
Pathways Commnity Service Trip (Peru) and a selfinitiated trip to Tacloban to help out with the aftermath
of Typhoon Haiyan. In this personal exploration of
portraits, I focused on natural light, colours, framing
conventions such as doors and windows to elevate
the human emotion in each photograph.
Exploration of double exposures, using nature and my surroundings to amplify the feelings of the figures. I paid attention
to the juxtaposition of the two images; the placement is used to emphasize specific notions of each image and doubles
the visual impact of the texuture. The double exposure enhances the natural contrast of the two images, light versus dark,
dense vesus thin and solid versus transparent. Each image attempts to evoke an atmosphere through the visual textures
such as the transparency, thorny and ethereal.
