Week One

Hi, my name is Meaghan. I am an art therapy major at Albertus and I have always loved taking pictures. This will be my second digital photo class, and I have also taken one semester of dark room photography. I have always been interested in presenting my view of the world to others and I can use photography as a means to do so. My self portrait portrays a combination of my love for taking pictures, monsters, as well as using special effects makeup.

For this course, I would like to work on a few different topics for a few weeks at a time. For the first few weeks, I would like to focus on nature photography since I will have the chance to visit my aunt in Montana. I would love to photograph animals, landscapes, and beautiful mountains. I also have another idea for some weeks to follow to create more "creatures" using my special effects makeup. I already have some volunteers that I can zombie-fy! I also really enjoyed looking at high-speed photography and would like to pursue that as well. I feel breaking the course into smaller sections will help me develop my skills as a photographer even more. I am so excited to learn more!
