Mixed Breeds

 

I absolutely love mixed breeds, they have such unique features. This project explores the macro detail of their facial features. These dogs were so much fun to work with. I also photographed them doing their best tricks, which I will post that series at a later time. Sierra is a cattle herder and beagle mix, she was rescued from ARF by Nicolette.

Josie is a lab shar pei mix. She is a part of my family, my husband and I rescued her from a San Diego animal shelter nearly 8 years ago.

Betty is a pug mix and was rescued by Gretchen. Cleo is a husky boxer mix. She is also a part of our dog pack, my husband and I rescued her at a dog park in San Diego when she was 8 weeks old.

Jenga is a golden lab ibiza mix and was rescued by my friends Staci and Max at the SF SPCA. Emma is a hound dachshund manchester terrier mix. She was rescued by Marie from ARF.

Tuesday Thesis-A Witch's Gaze

 

Last year I photographed my cousin, his wife and their adorable daughter Simone when they were visiting from Boston. We went up to Mount Diablo to one of my favorite spots for sunset. This last image was used in my thesis midpoint, touching upon the relationship between bird and person. The evil character is watching the king and the princess through the eyes of her bird, waiting for the right opportunity to strike. This concept was inspired by Sleeping Beauty and Maleficent's ever-spying crow.
