Photojournalism Assignment

Here are a few shots from my most recent Photojournalism assignment.  I tend to be very shy, so this class has been a little bit of a challenge for me so far.  Our professor encourages us to approach our subjects after we photograph them to hopefully get their names so we can write a successful caption for our photos when we hand them in for grading.  We were given badges with our names and contact information on them to wear when we attend events.  I decided to wear mine to this game and it ended up helping me out a lot  because the coaches allowed me to get closer to the action.  I feel like it made me seem more professional because if I hadn't been wearing it, they might not have let me take any photos.  It was a great learning experience for me and I'm happy with my results.  

New Work

I haven't posted anything on here in a while, so I thought I'd show you guys a few of the projects I've been working on and what I did during the summer.  My family and I decided to take a trip to Bar Harbor, Maine in late July.  We had never been there before so we weren't sure if we'd enjoy ourselves, but we ended up loving it and didn't want to leave.  The top two photos were taken in Acadia National Park which is the main attraction where we were.  That place is absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to go back someday.  I took a few trips into Manhattan throughout the summer.  I visited the High Line for the first time and I attended a few concerts.  The third picture was taken from the High Line.  I'm hoping to edit more of the photos from that day soon.  A few weeks ago, I was able to photograph my cousins wedding.  I wasn't their official photographer, but I'm happy with what I was able to capture.  The last photo was taken in the studio at my college.  This semester, we have started working in there a lot more.  It's a little intimidating because I'm not very creative when it comes to directing a model, but I think I've been doing okay so far.  My friend (and classmate), Christina, was able to model for me, and I did the same for her.  It was nice working with each other because we were both in the same boat.  I'm looking forward to editing/shooting more projects!
