A Carlmont High School sophomore, Erick Cheng, has been a serious photographer for almost a year. He finds photography entertaining—taking new pictures every other week to keep his skills sharp. For his collection Funsies at the Water Temple, he took photos that revealed a water temple’s beauty while trying to accentuate its majestic allure. He edited them using Adobe Lightroom Classic to enhance their natural charm. It took him an hour in total to be satisfied with the visuals.
Cheng believes that photography is an easy art to get into, unlike other arts like drawing or painting, which are more technically demanding. Anyone can go outside and take some pictures while having fun at the same time. He hopes that sharing his photos with the world will entice others to use their imaginations to envision the art they can create.
