Dreyfoos Fall Dance 2025

Covering the Fall Dance this year was a learning experience because it was my first time using flash. I remember getting a quick rundown on how to attach and use the flash a few minutes before I went to take pictures. At certain points, the flash wouldn't work, and this kept happening. It was frustrating, and I couldn't figure out what was wrong even after searching Google and asking my peers. Turns out the flash was overheating, and that I wasn't handling the equipment properly. I learned that to use a flash and get the best outcome would be to let it cool down in between high-intensity uses, like bursts.

Jazz Concert 11/18/25

This was my first concert event, and it was thrilling! Being backstage and seeing all the excitement among the performers kept reminding me of the reason I chose to be a photographer: to capture the moments that are remembered as feelings. Nonetheless, I did my best to get multiple different angles, even going up to the tech rooms and all the way up to the lights.

Norton Field Trip

(Sara VanDerBeek's Exhibition)

(10/19/25)

Capturing photos for this field trip was exciting because it was the first time I had documented artwork. In museums, they have specific lighting for specific pieces; some are sensitive to light, and others can only live under a certain color of light. I experimented with different settings on my camera to see how some pieces came out differently when using various settings.

As well as documenting the interaction between students and artworks was exciting because curiosity is such a tricky emotion to capture.

Ellen Liman Gallery (4/9/26)

Documenting this event was exciting because it was such a close knit team of people who were hosting it. While taking pictures for the renaming of the hallway, I have difficulty taking dynamic pictures in a small space. I figured out that close range and zoomed in pictures worked well with this environment.

7 Brew Story (2/4/26)

This story was a complete 180 from how I usually take photos. Instead of capturing environmental and in action photos this were set up and taken with intention. I enjoyed taking these photos and overall would do it again in the future.

Track (5/6/26)

This was the first time I ever took sport photos and there were many challenges. One of many is being unaware of the track event schedules, and underestimating the sun overexposing the photos. The biggest challenge was making sure of which event was occurring and making our way over there on time before the dreyfoos atheletes finish their set. Overall sport photos aren't my forte honestly, and I would rather choose to photograph other events.

Ushna's Art Gallery (1/16/26)

This story was unfortunately never put up on web because of my long and arduous fight with technological difficulties. Throughout this year I had a hard time with my adobe apps when it came to editing and downloading photos. I learned a lot of adobe through that time and understood the app well. I wish, however, that it didnt repeatedly crash everytie I used it. Many of my story assignments and photos were unable to be uploaded on time due to this, it was very upsetting.
