Did you know that The Auroran has two photographers? Well, one of the most recent additions to our staff is Landon DeFoer - one of our two photographers.
Landon has been doing photography for almost a year now. “I was inspired to start photography because of a show. The creator uses fashion magazines to do poses for his characters,” he said, “Even though it's not actually photography that got me into it, I still am very inspired by fashion.”

He loves getting to see all of the outfits come together, and all of the unique styles.
“Fashion is my favorite thing about photography! My dream job would be working with Gucci or Louis Vuitton.” Said Landon.
Not only does he like to use fashion in pictures, he also likes to just try different ways to make the picture stand out.
Landon loves getting to take pictures of new things. “The reason I wanted to join Newspaper was because I wanted to learn new things and get experience taking different types of pictures,” said Landon. He hopes with this class he can become a better photographer, and show off his picture to the school, and community.
He takes a lot of pictures for our stories and also for photo gallery- a new part of our site! Every time we publish there will be a photo gallery of the recent activities and events that are happening around our school and community.
Landon has taken pictures of sports, clubs, events, and so many more. You will see some of his pictures in our stories, and also in the photo gallery.
Photography is one of Landons biggest passions, and what he spends the most time doing in and out of school. He also just enjoys anything art related. He really likes sculpture, drawing, and painting. “I might not be the best at art but I enjoy it a lot. I just love being creative,” said Landon.
Landon has learned a lot from photography. He said “The best advice I've ever gotten was to capture things that are outside of the box not just what you think will look good” So he always tries his best to capture things that he normally wouldn't to expand his abilities, and try to learn as much as possible.
Landon has a lot of inspirational people in his life, but he said Mr. Hayes has been one of his most inspirational teachers. “He has encouraged me to start photography for a long time. When I did he was so helpful. He helped me learn a lot of different and new things,” said Landon.
“I love taking pictures of a lot of things, but this has to be my favorite photo I've ever taken. It was just for fun, not a class or anything. Also it's a picture of our staff member Jackson,” said Landon.
