My Introduction




Hi, my name is Jin Leibman Guan. Welcome to my page of Jin Guan Photography. I hope you enjoy this. This is a community where we can share our ideas. I am in my second year as a photography major in SCCC and i have had the greatest experience in this college. I've had some of the best professors who look out for the students and help them on whatever work they need.  I started getting into photography when I went to a family function and my Uncle Santo showed me his camera and said feel free to take pictures.  After my first camera experience, I knew i wanted to go into photography. Uncle Santo had believed in me because he knew i would have an eye for photography. I would like to pursue a sports photography career, but I would really like to explore my options for photography. I would really love to thank Uncle Santo for giving me the opportunity of picking my career path.
This is my best friend in the whole world. she usually helps me through my ups and downs and i do the same for her. This was one of the lighting assignments I did. As you can tell she looks confused and oriented but i told her to pos like that. she's my best friend in the world and agreed to do this assignment for me. When you meet her in person she's the sweetest and most caring person. Me and her have been friends since second grade and surprisingly she still wants to be my friend. We will always have each other backs.
So i took this picture at Aeolian Park and i saw a road that inspired me to post this picture because as they say in the quote ''Not everyone will understand your journey and thats okay, its not their journey so they don't have to understand it, it's yours.''-unknown
I love this quote because i think it has deep meaning really because everyone who you meet won't understand your journey. I had a similar experience when i was meeting new people and i have to tell them oh i just can't go to your house i need to fill out papers / background checks. some people are understanding to it and some are not because there trying to fill your shoes but its not easy being a teenager and in foster care.
I actually loved this picture because it shows waves. that the fact that there is a seagull coming down in mid-air which pretty awesome. Every time I think of waves and oceans it reminds me of a good christian song "Oceans by Hillsong''
and their is a lyric in there where it goes ''Spirit lead me to where my trust is without borders. Let me walk upon these waters. Wherever you may call me. Take me deeper where my feet may wonder and my faith may wonder stronger''.
Love this song and picture I had taken.

Taekwondo #2

These three kids are my students from Taekwondo. And I'm glad they let me shoot them for my white on white assignment. For that assignment  I had to use small packs in order to let them work. at first we had trouble using the camera but it worked so yeah ;) I loved the fact they didn't let me down they helped me with this assignment which is great. i used three lights in order to get these perfect picture which is awesome. i love the fact to that they didn't complain either. i love them they are so cute and adorable at first they were hesitant and they finally got through to them in working in the studio :) Taekwondo isn't just about kicking and punching its mostly about flexibility and endurance. i love this picture because it has something do with the fact that kids can bounce back quickly which is awesome. Taekwondo is just awesome its hard work to get your black belt and the strength and endurance with how hard you train.

Summer

This is a picture that I had taken this summer and  just love this photo because its blurry in the background but you could definitely see the detail of the flower and in the butterfly. I just don't have words for this because this is just awesome in a way. :) I love butterflies and they are just awesome. They are true meanings of life and all that which is just perfect really. I wish that life would just not judge anyone because we seem to judge everyone by the color or background which is not right we all should be ashamed of ourselves for doing that. Here is a picture and an action shot of me doing Taekwondo at the Dix hills park. In this move i am doing second degree form. i am third degree black belt in Taekwondo which is pretty cool. I will tell you without Taekwondo I wouldn't be here because its my life I breathe, sleep and eat Taekwondo. It's my life i've been doing Taekwondo since i was three and I'm twenty one and still doing it. Which you don't ...

Taekwondo

i took this shot at the 2016 nationals in Virginia. i couldn't use any lighting techniques or a flash i had to do what i had to work with which was florescent lighting which was horrible but i still got the shot i needed to. i had tried sport photography and trust me its a pain in the butt to do because you have to get the perfect shot and you'll only shoot about 364 shots in order to get 15 good perfect shots in order to submit or what not. so yeah that was a struggle to. and trying not to get kicked out of a public event without them saying get out. Plus trying not to open your flash was the biggest pain in the butt. Somewhat i actually like this shot this shot amuses me because he's trying to get a head kick in but he can't seem to do so because they are blocking what the head kick is. So what i learned from this is that a lot of the men doing taekwondo sparring likes to kill each other and give head injures.
