……….If I could have the power of changing the proportion of day and night in one day, I would make every single minute of a 24-hour period – full of sunshine. Growing up in a tropical city, that has only one season a year, which is summer: I’m used to being spoiled with unlimited sun light. I didn’t realize how I took wearing sundresses all year long for granted until I came to Philadelphia. I always like to work and hang out in places with big windows that let in a lot of light.
.
.
For this series, I chose windows/glass and architecture as my theme. The Comcast Center, La Colombe Coffee Shop, McDonald’s, Pottruck Gym; seemingly unrelated subjects magically came together because of their common possession of glass windows – which embrace a generous amount of sun light.
.
. Sunshine is a theme that can be traced back to my childhood. Thanks to photography, I understand who I am and where I came from better than any other moments in my life.

……….Venus is not just the Roman goddess of love; it is also the University of Pennsylvania’s women’s Ultimate Frisbee team, of which I happen to be a member. The team is comprised of wonderful and wacky women who somehow seem to mesh perfectly and have more than willingly accepted me into their makeshift family. It is for these reasons that I chose to photograph the Venus team in all of their glory.

These photographs also extend beyond the simple subject of the Venus team and fits into a category that I have much love for but really was only able to explore with this last assignment. It is my personal project of candid portraiture. There is something so fulfilling about capturing the essence of a person in a single frame. It is challenging and frustration at times, but ultimately so incredibly beautiful. While this specific group of candid portraits is meant to showcase my fellow teammates it is also meant to further explore off my established style of photography. I wanted these photographs to be crisp, and saturated, and strong; I wanted them to capture reality, but also retain elements of surrealism. These photographs are meant to embody the essence of Venus, aggressive but playful, committed to the game and each other.

Venus is something that is very important to me, so I thought it only fitting to conclude my term and portfolio with my interpretation of and homage for my team and the sport that brought us together.
