I am immensely grateful to take pictures for publications this year, as it is seriously improving all aspects of my journalistic skillset. Because of my opportunities to take pictures at sporting events and throughout the hallways of Homestead, I was able to hone in on my skills enough to submit the following photos in my portfolio for SCAD, and received praise for my work by admissions representatives.
Second Trimester 2022
I did not take as many photos this trimester, and I want to get back in the habit of bringing my camera with me every day. I loved going to events to take pictures, and working with indoor lighting was a challenge I never saw coming. I want to go to more events on my own time third trimester as my schedule will be more open, and I hope to do some kind of creative shoot next trimester. My favorite photo event was definitely the PDP event, as adults were treating me as if I were a hired professional and that was a very weird feeling!
Third Trimester 2022
I did not take as many photos this trimester as I had hoped, but I still took a lot! From prom to senior sunrise to the MTEF event, I think I focused more on event photography than sports, and that helped me grow to be a dynamic photographer. I learned that in order to get the photos I want without a zoom lens, I need to get up close and personal physically with the subject and abandon any awkwardness that I may have.
