We Just Cut The Semester In Half.

"I was mimicking the work of Richard Avedon. He captures models in motion and had a lady stepping off a street corner in one photo. I decided to put my own spin on it by having my model stepping off an old car. The photograph turned out really well! The balance of light in the corner aids in creating a floating atmosphere."
by Alix S.

"When I took this photo I appreciated the balance with the sun coming in on the left and the background information on the right. When I look at the picture I think about how everything is the center of attention, not just one particular thing."

"I was trying out different angles and discovered the staircase appearing horizontal. I thought it gave the subject of the picture an interesting appearance as the usually vertical balance becomes horizontal."
by Alix S.

"When I was taking this photo I was basing it off the work of photographer Ralph Gibson. His work usually includes people at interesting angles while focusing on hands in a lot of his photographs. He also shoots his photos in black & white with great contrast."
by Hailey T.

"In this photo I really wanted to get down to the cat's level which took like 3 hours of following it around! Animals don't have any awareness of the camera and I thought it would be great to follow around a subject that was potentially unaware of the situation."
by Megan P.

"I shot this at my grandmother's house. She had a random loop of wire fence that was spiraling loose in the field. I loved it because of the crazy radial balance the wire was creating."

"This is a picture of a shack I found while crossing through my neighbor's backyard because I forgot to do my photography assignment....again. I like this shot because the lines from the shack and windows create an interesting shape. Also, the unanticipated purple in the trees is fantastic."
by Lindsey B.

"I was looking for some symmetrical shots and I loved the way the trees were folding inward down the middle."

First Go At The 35mm Camera!

"In this photo it was my first time using a 35mm camera for an assignment. I wanted to test how well I could capture energy and movement without creating too much blur. I'm happy with this image in how it portrays the personality of the dog pretty well."
by Megan P.

"This was my first endeavor with a 35mm camera. I found the words and phrasing on the bus to be interesting and a bit thought provoking."

"This photo was taken in Gold Hill, NC (an old mining town). Antique stores are everywhere with lots of interesting objects to shoot. I thought the angle had a great perspective with the perfect amount of light."
by Megan H.

"On this particular day of shooting I was looking for a never ending perspective."
by Hannah S.

"This assignment involved taking photos that reveal how we see the world. So for this photo I captured my friend as she was picking up money we found on the ground. I thought this showed how the world was because people always take what they can get, even if it doesn't belong to them. Sometimes people are just all about money and power."
