PROJECTS
Never Dark
Insomnia strikes over weeks and months. Within the apartment, even in the depths of night, there is always light seeping in from outside.

Here There
Through the act of photographing I find just how my perceptions differ from the camera’s translations of space. The camera constructs an interpretation of reality, as it isolates and flattens details found within a wide three-dimensional environment.
1 Day Workout: Engaging Light! challenges students to observe, perceive and manipulate light and shadow to help make unique photographs that inspire the imagination. By utilizing a 5-hour class structure, we'll be able to watch and photograph sunlight change throughout the day and discuss its effects on street scenes, architecture and portrait environments. You'll deepen your understanding of light and how it reacts to different situations--a critical training for capturing powerful imagery. Through gaining a better appreciation for how light can shape the image, we can push our creativity to greater depths.
