I connect the abstract vastness of nature with the human figure, both concretely and subtly, to leave the viewer wondering who and where the people are, and what each element (nature or people) adds to the other.
The Stunningly Mundane
Below are my 10 final images and artist statement for the semester.
My subject is the stunningly mundane. I find cracks in reality, revealing the glimpses from untold stories of the curious, leaving behind a hint of the mysterious.
Final Images – Loreen
My work is the artificial of the artificial: through my photos, I strive to recreate from scratch the works of a stereotypical millennial on social media. To emulate their photographic style, I’ve identified and extracted common stylistic elements they utilize and implemented them in my photography: the square crop, enhanced vibrancy, and the choice of mundane objects/food as subject matter.

Suburbia is an intersection between natural and built environments; my collection looks at the artificiality of suburbia and this intersection through color, symmetry and sometimes humor.
Final Images – Matt S
My body of work focuses on an exploration of light and color to produce diverse and vibrant images. The images play with the intersection and overlap between humanity and nature by showcasing the similar aesthetic present in both worlds.
The Urban Artist — Critique 3
Statement: My eye is a lens that is used to view the world and the artistic elements it contains; both natural and manmade. My role is that of a perspective taker, someone who appropriates the work of humans and nature as his own.
city lines – alex
Artist Statement: My work explores the leading lines and contrasting colors of city life. I capture how both myself and those around me interact with their surroundings, subtly reflecting on facial expression and properties of light.

Critique 3—Will C
My images all focus on nature—primarily its interaction with animals and man-made objects. This is because my main goal in this class is to push myself to take more, and better, photos. As I primarily take photos to capture my various adventures through nature, my gallery represents these topics so as to invite **constructive** criticism on how I can improve such photos both now and in the future.

Cooper Mills Critique 3: Textures from the 415
In my work, I enjoy playing with textures, reflections, and the way that light interacts with my subject. In this particular critique, I tried to frame San Francisco accordingly. As such, during the past month as I traveled through the city, I hunted for and captured these texturally rich subjects to display for my body of work.
