Environmental Photo of a Classmate
On October first, we were sent out to take environmental portraits of classmates. The goal was to learn something about each other, but also to play with lighting and to practice Expositional photography, or environmental portraiture. For this photo, I photographed a classmate, and friend, LeAnn Johnson. Johnson enjoys artwork, though doesn’t get a lot…

Street-Esque
We live in a medium sized city and went out to shoot street photography. Only the streets felt empty and boring, compared to the large city’s I have been to (Reno, Seattle, etc.) While this is not so much sweet, I would argue there is still importance in the emptiness. The quiet feeling in areas…

Minimalism
We often see the big picture, the full image, through our eyes. But sometimes, it’s beneficial to look at the smaller image. The things that make up the larger picture. The small moments, and items, like moss on a tree, or the way the old snarls in wood take on their own feature, as if…

Take a Swing
She stands strong, awaiting the coming ball. The ball flies towards her, and she swings. Some batters wear pants, she wears dresses. She stands strong as her movement whips her loose hair, a soft breeze adding to the whirlwind. She hits the ball, and laughs in childhood glee and an unknown strength. Confidence.

You Should See Me in A Crown
Idea for photo shoot from Billy Eilish and current woman rights issues We have been taught for centuries that girls and woman are meant to be seen, not heard. We are not supposed to be loud, or strong, or independent. We are meant to depend on others and be dainty and soft spoken. She, however,…

Along the Path
We drove along a path that was winding back and forth, at Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge, all the while watching for some sort of wildlife to show itself. It was late fall and the snow had yet to fall, though the earth seemed to be crawling back into itself, to start a long torpor session.…

Continuing Into the Unknown
I have created this body of work, in Cyanotype, as a testament to heading “Into the Unknown.” We often take paths in life that lead to places we may not expect, similar to taking paths or even roadways. There may be a destination, but we may not always know what we will locate at that…

Just the Start
I have photographed the world around since I was eight years old. I started on a 35mm for summer camps and family trips. By thirteen, I was in love. I asked for a camera, that year. Digital was starting to take hold, but I wanted to continue in film, feeling like digital was cheating, even…

Bottle Shots
For a studio class, we were supposed to do a bottle shot. There was snow on the ground, which I chose to use to keep the wine cold. I looked into what went well with cabernets and went for a picnic like feel . This shot was the final result, but after speaking wth others,…

A Struggle in Still Life
My first still life: a moment of chaos, is what this photo should be named. I went into the studio knowing I had to complete a still life for class. I had ideas, like a thousand of them. I brought items for each idea, which, as you can imagine, meant I had a massive box…
