The subject of my photo essay was the beach and various other tropical locations. I took my photographs at the Majestic Colonial on Bavaro beach in Punta Cana, a city in the Dominican Republic. I had selected this place because it has stunning floral and beautiful sunsets. This place also brings up many fond memories. It is important to me, because I also have the time of my life here with my family. I'm trying to portray the idea of how beautiful life is when you step outside and truly enjoy life. My images have captured the narrative of my story, because they have a beautiful array of colors and point of view. The photos make you feel as if you are standing there on vacation. You almost feel as if you are taking in the sweet tropical air and bright morning sun-rays. The order of my photos signifies a true Caribbean vacation with great sun and plenty of palm trees. The view point consist of from far away and up close an personal with the subject of the photo. I have chosen to keep my photos in full color in order to give a bright happy feeling to the viewer. I had visually unified my series of photos by arranging my photos by setting. In the beginning, of my photo series most of the photos are taken at or near the pool. The second half of my photos are taken at the beach and the third half are at or near the beach during sunset.
