Photography: Big Island, Hawaii

Kona Coast Photo Study Beachside Photography & Editing Exercise / Personal Series, 2025 Project A four-image coastal study shot over a single day on Hawaiʻi’s Kona coast, capturing shifts in light from pre-dawn to dusk. Each image focuses on a different quality—texture, tone, movement, or stillness—so the set reads as one day in four moments. Role Scouted four nearby coastal locations with distinct terrain and light Shot handheld on a Canon Rebel T5i Bracketed exposures and timed wave patterns for clean compositions Edited and color-graded in Lightroom and Photoshop Outcome Produced a four-image series demonstrating control of high-contrast coastal light, consistent editing, and visual storytelling using consumer-grade gear.
