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.

Random Pictures

This is i think my favorite and the reason being is because i like the lighting in the way it is. i used a background lighting and the most difficult thing is that i can think of is remembering not to break the lights in the studio. i also like this picture with the flags it reminds me of the olympics and how our nations are one as a whole. i think that its very interesting and very confusing how things work out with our nations together.

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.

Family

Family is very important to me. I love family its the best thing in the world just to have a stable home and not get bounced back and forth. With my story I've been moved around 4x and its been very difficult the way life has put me through. With growing up with an abusive dad and learning that I had to be taken away from the house and learning that I won't be going back was totally tuff. I seriously think i wouldn't have survived without Demi Lovato. Demi Lovato totally is my idol and i worship her like she's my goddess. Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten. I am grateful i finally found someone in my life that i could call family. i was adopted at the age of nineteen and its been the greatest thing in my life. I call it the got you day which is beautiful. My family truly loves me and I'm in a safe and beautiful home no sibling which is awesome. Family is not just blood. DNA doesn't make a family love does. Love is the beauty...
