I am a high school photography student at an Expeditionary Learning school. I love pictures of people more than anything else. I am inspired by the way pictures of people capture emotions and tell stories. Concept shots are my favorite form of a photo challenge especially when I am shooting multiple models. Action shots are very interesting to me as well.

 

I don't have my own camera and I imagine that I probably want a camera more than any other camera-less person in the country. I use our school's single-lens reflex Nikon 3100 and our studio lights and seamless black and white backgrounds.

 

Pictures that bother me are dead center pictures when they have no good reason for being dead center. I also dislike pictures taken under trees when there is no diffuser used. The shadows are distracting and never look good. And nudity is pointless and no good as well.

 

Everything I shoot is reality but I love being able to change that by using simple things like angles and light. What ever is real can easily become art and means more to people because it's real.

I think that all of your photos have perfect lighting. A great example is your photo of Sage in front of the light globe. I also think that you compose your photos in very creative ways. One of the photos that I thought had great composition is your "We Can Do It" photo.
