Ambergrace - Graduation

Taking photos for Ambergrace isn't very difficult at all. In fact, she's the easiest people to not only work with, but just to have a conversation with as well. By far, she is definitely one of the sweetest, and most endearing souls you'll be lucky to meet.

She had asked me, a few months prior to her graduation in May of 2015, to take her photos in some of her favorite spots in San Francisco. I recall it being very cold, and I wondered how she was able to handle these conditions for the photoshoot. In classic, Ambergrace fashion, she had a positive attitude nonetheless.

For this set, I wanted to really capture the gentleness and care that is so true to her personality. I didn't want any exaggerated poses, or any dramatic lighting. Instead, I chose to highlight the vibrancy in her artistry as well as her faith in the beauty of the world, as seen through the mosaic steps in some of the photos. I also wanted to emphasize her place in the City, as SF held a close place in her life during her time in college. Thus, in contrast of the grayness of the skies, stands her and the Golden Gate Bridge as they both overlook into her future.
