The photo on the bottom left is a photo that I took in the car, it shows how I want to travel a lot when I get older.

The middle picture is a photograph of Illinois State University, and the top right picture is of Columbia college in Chicago. I put these two photos in my collage because I will end up going to one of these schools after I graduate high school, I just don't know which one yet. Lastly, the picture on the bottom right is a picture of my family that I took of them because my dream would to become a successful photographer.

The main job as a photographer when photographing food is to make the initial lens selection, determine depth of field, and to artistically apply the lighting. It is important to use good props, camera angle, focus, and lighting.

Favorite Teacher Portrait

I picked this teacher, Mr. Nugent, because he is a very good teacher and he cares a lot about his students and their grades. I admire Mr. Nugent because he treats his students like adults and expects us to try hard in his class and to always do our best.

Mr. Nugent is kind, honest, and is always willing to help me with something that I do not understand. Even though his AP Physics class is not easy, I still look forward to learning about physics everyday because Mr. Nugent makes it so much fun to learn about it.

Family Photo Story

Photographer Stories

1. Moab, Utah Mountain Biking Mecca by Tim Foster. I picked this photographer because I liked how he took his pictures and the different perspectives and how he took you on the journey with him, also I love adventurous photos. I think what makes his photos successful is that every photo is different and they make the viewer feel like they're on the journey with him.

2. Punakaiki, Home of the Famous Pancake Rocks by Tim Foster. I picked this story because of how beautiful the photos are. These are strong photos because they show the different things that he did while he was there and what the place looked like when it was night time.
