As a photographer, I have noticed that many people are
uncomfortable with their self-image.Since the beginning of my
journey into photography I made a personal goal of helping
peoplesee their potential and beauty. I found that some of my
favorite portraits are picture of peoplewho don’t ft traditional
aesthetic standards. With dramatic lighting and good
photography,anyone can look beautiful.
I matched my models to the settings. I had my model dress in in
Victorian clothing, to match thesurround house and furnishings. The
house had poor lighting, which gave me an opportunity to
really focus on the subject. In order to soften her face, and
remove any harsh shadows I diffusedthe natural light and used two
speed-lights to mimic the angle of sunlight. I retouched the
skin
though the healing tool and frequency separation.

While exploring the world of macro-photography I noticed that
looking at things closely showeddetails, which one is generally
unaware of. The introspective details of macro photographyallowed
me to see the world differently.
All of the photos in this book were taken in Rexburg and Idaho
Falls, Idaho. These macro imageswere taken at Teton Valley Flood
Museum, a local public garden, a car, and an apartment lobby.I
extended my lens by using a Macro tube. I brought the saturation
down and clarifedof the images.

While working with black and white photography, I enjoyed seeing
the stark contrast of images.Color shots are vibrant and playful,
but black and white images allow the viewer to focus on detailhe or
she might miss. When working with black and white you can quickly
distinguish between thecircles and lines of the image.
In the top-right photograph, I retouched her skin by using the
healing tool, and used thenondestructive dodge and burn tools to
lighten highlights and darken shadows. This black andwhite section
is a great example of how I composed the photographs to lead you to
the centerand have a nice fow.

From a young age I have always enjoyed the creative process,
across a variety of differentmedias. I sketch, paint, and this
ability has affected my photography. By planning a shoot on
paper, I effectively create a blueprint to work from. Art has no
limit. I enjoyed the freedom thatcomes from creativity.
The photograph of the cologne was an example of light painting
Photography. I took this picturein my living room. I used two old
black t-shirts, one for the background and the oor. I turned
thelights off. The shutter speed was opened for 20 seconds and the
camera stood still. During the
20 seconds I lighted my subject with the ashlight on my phone,
then I light painted the blue linesby waving my phone around in
front of the camera. Later on I added the text and cropped theimage
but no other edits were made.

Say, “you are done” quickly and you should be able topronounce
“Yordan” just about right. Yordan answers to most
pronunciations of his name. He was named Yordan after theriver
Jordan. Originally from El Salvador, Yordan was raised in
Des Moines, Iowa.
He enjoys Latin dance, hiking and the creative process in
general. Yordan has a keen eye for geometric patterns. Such
designs are evident in his photographic style. He is an avid
sketcher and applies the principals of draftsmanship to
hisphotography. While in his junior year of college he
discovered
his passion and afnity for photography, you could say it waslove
at rst sight.
