Jazmine - Water Photoshoot

 



I chose these three photos to capture the beautiful water scenery in Bellingham. I enjoy photographing water, whether pictures of the waves washing up on shore or shots of the beach that capture the sky in the background.

My photos captured the rainy and cold vibe of the Pacific Northwest using a lower ISO.

The streets were more often filled with the remnants of human activity than the signs of nature. An occasional dog would wander the alleys. Sometimes, the aftermath of raccoons would leave a trail—scraps of trash scattered across the concrete, a testament to their nocturnal scavenging. Living in a place like this taught me how to hold immense gratitude for nature, unders tanding that the wealthy and middle classes tend to have more access, snow sports and family vacations that I would never experience myself. This motivated me to carve out time and seek out natural beauty, waterfronts and forest days that I prioritized. I feel immense privilege in having transitioned t...
