Through a Different Lens...

On my Monday off, I was strolling through campus when I came upon a fountain with odd bubbles. "A soapy fountain" I thought to myself as I walked over to look at it. These pictures resulted. I call it "iPhone-tography"!

As I continued on, I was inspired to photograph campus. Having only my wallet and phone with me, I was constrained to my iPhone. Instead of going back to get my camera, I decided to challenge myself. I have all this fancy camera equipment back at home, but photography isn't about the equipment. It's about the eye-- seeing the world in a different way. Here's just a few of the many pictures I composed that morning. These are all unedited images. Enjoy!

How cool is this next one? It's like a laser beam of sunlight!

Beautiful streams of light outside Doheney Library.

Pensive Reflection outside VKC.

Some photography is all about the emotion the image evokes, as it is in the image above.
Here's some fun geometry from my dorm last year, Birnkrant.

And finally, who says iPhone cameras aren't of quality? Here's a shallow depth of field close up shot, from a worm's eye view! I love this one.

I hope everyone has a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!

Photographically yours,

Kylie

Autumn Compositions

Yes, Autumn does exist in Los Angeles... you just have to get out of the city to see it! These are the first shots I've taken for me in a long time- I've been so blessed keeping busy with client shoots, which is amazing, but it's great to remember why I started photography in the first place :)

It was so fun to play with shapes, composition, and elements/ principles of design! It was like I was back in high school AP photo class.

Enjoy!

US Naval Academy Plebe Summer- The Hudsons!

Kylie Nic Photography takes on I-Day at the Naval Academy!

My good friend and classmate Chris was inducted into the Naval Academy Class of 2016 this summer. I stopped by on I-Day to send him off, and ended up with his family's camera, slipping easily into photographer mode. I unintentionally pulled a "Kylie Nic" and ended up with this portrait of him! I love it and couldn't be prouder of you, Chris!

The Hudson Family is such a delight. Here's the big happy clan on the big day. Chris has wanted to go to the Academy ever since he was in second grade. His father is a class of 1981 graduate- the same as my father!

Beautiful Meemom!

A hug goodbye from Mom.

One last salute back before plebe summer starts.

Dad walks Chris up into line. Some last words of advice- my prediction? "Keep on smiling"

Attention, in formation.

I felt to blessed to be welcomed into the Hudson family's important day. Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Hudson, Christine and Elizabeth for welcoming me and making me feel like a part of the family! Your camera enjoyed it too :-)

Here's a shot of Chris with his beautiful sisters, Elizabeth and Christine! Christine is starting her own horseback riding lesson business here in Annapolis- her newhorse site is here.  Elizabeth is a fashion designer based in San Diego! Visit her website: www.ellegalleries.com

Lots of love! Until next time,
