An Artistic Voyage: exploring local creative and artistic works

Local Stories

Raw, unfiltered creative expression – from stories and photographs to illustrations and paintings – is at the heart of the SDVoyager.  In the coming weeks you’ll find in-depth conversations with many of the artists and creatives we’ve been introduced to lately, but below you’ll find a sneak peak of some of the creative works that we’ve been most excited about recently.

I don’t normally photograph weddings, but when I do, it’s because there’s a dog or two involved! And in the case of Cheryl and Kevin’s wedding, that’s the ONLY thing (well, two things) I was responsible for photographing…the dogs. During this beautiful outdoor wedding at San Dieguito County Park, I was strictly in charge of shooting the wedding day dog portraits. Not very many people think to have a separate photographer to take pictures of the pets in the wedding, but I think it’s a very smart idea. It makes sense for a couple who really wants to ensure they get a variety of great shots of their pets at the wedding to hire an actual pet photographer to do so. 🐶 👰 🤵 🐶 To see how this special day unfolded, visit the bog (link in bio).

she sang to me dripping with diamonds / glazed with water I can’t believe I caught her witnessing the sun leave she told me she loves to be alone so she can watch the sky turn every kind of color and the sun falls asleep in front of her gown she told me to be still / to gulp down every piece of magic that crosses my path she told me it’s okay to fall down & it won’t be the last time that I feel at a loss she told me to trust. I have to trust/ /faith, never rust she told me everything is as it’s meant to be she told me I never, ever have to leave everything is as it’s meant to be stay here. in peace . . . . . . . . . . #poetry #rosetonedream #brucecarrionart #poet #writer #poetsofinstagram #queerpoetry #spiritualart #godsent #gift #universallove #gaysofinstagram #art_spotlight #like4likes #qtpoc #qtpocart #latinxartist #transartist #visualartist #rose #bloom #growing #learning #heaven #contemporaryart

⚠️ THIS IS POSSIBLY AN INTERESTING POST but idk we will see how it goes. I watch A LOT of YouTube while I edit photos, like I can probably tell you every Cut / David Dobrik / Hot Ones video out right now. I am actually @gordongram eating anything hot. But really I mean what else am I supposed to do while I edit 4 hours a day editing! OKAY…IM GETTING TO MY POINT! I was watching or rather listening to a @chrisklemens video and he’s letting strangers ask him anything. Well one stranger asks, “what is the one thing that has brought you joy in the last year?” And his answer was, “cutting really shitty people out.” And I was like ohhhh heckkkk yes! He also goes on to talk about the feeling of surrounding yourself with people you just want to see and that hit home. I am the most extroverted introvert. The second someone becomes super clingy or gives me any feeling of discomfort, I’m out. #byefelicia Sometimes I become friends with someone because I feel I have to even though I am perfectly okay with the few badass supportive people. I have my close knit friend group. I don’t know how I am just now realizing it is okay to only have a few close friends. But seriously the second I let someone go who brings me NO joy. Whooooooo it feels GREAT! 👋 Also I chose this photo because these two are some of the best friends ty and I have met and kept close over the last few years! How do you guys feel about this? If anything what was the one thing that brought you joy this month? 🤘

“The ocean stirs the heart, inspires the imagination, and brings eternal joy to the soul.” – Robert Wyland __________ Shooting the Oregon coast with @billyrubinphotography __________ Long exposure photos, like this one, are not possible without the use of good tripod. @Fotopro.usa is my tripod of choice. Check out their new products: The X-Go series, T-Roc, and Eagle Gimbal heads. __________ My Gear & Settings ⬇⬇⬇⬇ 🔹 Camera: @Sony A7R III 🔹 Lens: @Sonyalpha 16-35 mm 🔹 Shutter Speed: 60 seconds 🔹 Aperture: f/11 🔹 ISO: 100 🔹 Mode: Manual 🔹 Filter System: NiSi @nisifiltersus 🔹 Tripod: Fotopro @Fotopro.usa __________ Lets discuss the proper use of filters and the applicable NiSi filter solution. Just DM me to get the conversation started. __________ PHOTO TIP – ADDING DEPTH TO YOUR PHOTOS: Incorporating a sense of depth is one of the things that, as a photographer, you have a lot of control over. It can improve the vitality of the image and it is also fun to experiment with. Most photographers know that a good foreground can really make an image pop. To take it a step further; ensure that there is a foreground, mid-ground, and background to your images so that you can take control of the sense of depth. This helps to lead the viewers eyes into the photo and gives it more of a 3D effect. __________ #PoweredbyIkan #Ikanonset #Ikancreate #nisifilters #filters #nisi #nisiglobal #viewbug @ikanco #artbeatstudios #fotopro.usa #earthpix #natureworld_photography #natureaddict #live_planet #beautiful_world #sunset_vision #longexpoelite #longexposure_shots

This year is all about #selflove and personal growth. Penciling myself in (making time for Ginger), positive self talk/thought, and removing toxic people from my life are my main focuses. I plan to find and love myself on a deeper level. I’m excited to live my best life. . . . . #gingerowensphoto #selfloveproject #theeverydayproject #mybeautifulmess #creativityfound #dontquityourdaydream #creativepreneur #communityovercompetition #flashesofdelight #livethelittlethings #photosinbetween #sandiegophotographer #californiaphotographer #weddingphotographer #engagementphotos #portraitphotography #elopementlove #engaged #letsgetmarried #westcoastphotographer #destinationwedding #sandiegowedding #sandiegoweddingphotographer #lifestylephotographer #moonlightlovers #letsgetmarried #oarsandbeanies #sandiegoelopement
