PHOTO PROJECTS
These 10 photos around University Heights shown below demonstrate my skills in journalistic photography.
These five photos around University Heights shown below demonstrate my skills in photoshop.
The photos below demonstrate my skills in learning how to shoot in sequences. Over the course of one week, I acquired images of students at Arizona State to provide audiences with a little insight into their daily lives. As college deems as the most transitional period of early adulthood, I wanted to capture the raw essence of how students spend their time between work, school and society. I was able to capture six subjects in various different shooting style methods to achieve my concept.
What's it like to be in college?

Sawyer takes her studies very seriously. Nickerson takes a more relaxed approach and just likes to rewatch lectures and slideshows. “I color code just about everything,” says Sawyer. “It’s easier for me to understand what I’m looking at.”

Nickerson and Sawyer like to take 20-minute study breaks to try new hobbies. Today their new hobby was learning how to shuffle correctly. “I have been trying for years and still can’t get the bridge,” says Nickerson. “I’m not leaving this chair until I’m able to do it.”
Jordyn Ealy, a sales associate and student at Arizona State University, stares at her reflection in a mirror at Buffalo Exchange in Tempe, AZ. Ealy strives to wear the clothes that she wants instead of following trends. Buffalo Exchange welcomes uniqueness and embraces one’s self. “I love my outfit today,” says Ealy. “Red is my favorite color and I thought of no better place to debut my new top than at work today.”

Silverman and Ealy and not just coworkers but great friends. Ealy got the job first and the first person she thought should work with her was Silverman. “Everything just kind of fell into place,” says Silverman. “Work doesn’t feel like work, I have great people around me and a great work environment, what more can I ask for?”
