Albania Adventure

This trip changed my life and God opened my eyes to his people and the suffering that's going on world wide.

Imagination


In the Washington State High School Photography Competition 2007 I received 2nd place in the category for Digital Manipulation!

Its officially spring time here in East Texas and hopefully now I'll now get more of the divine beauty of God's creation. With work and classes it gets really busy. That sometimes limits me in time to be creative, outside of my office.



This one above happens to be my favorite. I love putting two photos together, that make it continue on but not quite match.


Aww, shallow depth of field. I love using this technique to really point the audience where I want them to focus there attention.

Please share with me your thoughts and comments on what you see. I'd love to hear some input on how I can do it better next time around, or to hear what you do like. Even in terms of how I edit them on my computer or how I shoot from the beginning.

Welcome!

Hello Everyone!

My name is Tessa Cockhill and I'm just wanting to start showing my work and getting feedback. I would like to receive constructive criticism on my work so I may improve. Also, tips to make my photos look better would also be great! I want to get as much feedback as possible so I can better prepare myself every time I go shoot.

A little background, I started shooting film at the end of my sophomore year and all my junior year in High School and then my senior year I started shooting digital and as much as I loved the dark room and printing my own prints, the computer as a dark room just blew me away of how much you can do with photos, and how much time you save. I'm now living in Garden Valley, TX as an intern at a ministry. I'm currently working in the Center for Creative Media doing graphic design and also some photography when needed. I feel so blessed to be here doing what I love to do. This is all possible only by the grace of God, because It's not because of me that I'm where I am.

Enjoy my photos, please tell me what you like and what you would like even more if I would have____ (you fill in the blank.)

God Bless you all!
