Photojournalism
Photography is the most important part of a spread. If it wasn't for photos hardly anyone would read a yearbook. A photo should capture emotion and tell a story.
I became interested in photography in the sixth grade. I started a photo club my seventh grade year and continued it into eighth grade. It wasn't until my sophomore year of high school that I experienced hand-on learning in class of what it was like to be a photojournalist. From going to just about every football game, to random club events, I learned so much. I mastered the camera back to front.
Below are just a few of my many photos that are in the Legend 2015, 2016 and soon to be Legend 2017. These help tell the year's stories

Theme Environmental's
For the "You just don't know us" theme (Legend 2016), we told stories of people who other "need to know." We wanted the environmental portraits to help emphasize a specific characteristic of each person. Over the course of five months I shot 13 environmental's all over town. I meet students, some of which I didn't know, and got to hear their story while photographing them. A lot of physical labor went into these. We used a strobe flash unit to get lively skin tones and highlight their environment. These photos involved careful coordination and planning to execute. I also widened my knowledge of strobe lighting for the desired effect.
