Time to go through and pick my personal best from the amazing time I’ve had photographing for COMM 316.
Since January, I’ve been privileged to spend a lot of time learning more about photography and the business of photography in my COMM 316 class at BYU-Idaho. I cannot start to tell you how awesome and meaningful this class has been, and how wonderful everyone is in it, especially Sister Caryn Esplin. Words cannot describe the energy, tenacity and love she has for me and every other classmate of mine. Furthermore, her testimony and love of the gospel has inspired me to be a better person and further come unto Christ. One of the most special things at BYU-Idaho is the harmony between the learning model and how the spirit teaches.
Photography has become an outlet for me. It is another way that I can express myself, my feelings and save the memories in my life. It’s been interesting to see a transition throughout this semester in my photographic style. At first, my images were strongly low-key, with a lot of black. As the semester continued on and as I began learning new light techniques, it subtly and slowly changed, becoming more reminiscent of my true photographic style, which is bright and bold.
Here are my personal best from COMM 316. Even though these might not be my top photos, the memories behind these photos is why they are on my list.
For more amazing images that have influenced my style and techniques, visit Caryn Esplin’s website.
