The Story

This shoot ended up being a really educational experience. I got to experience what it was like to work with a creative team and learned a lot about how a shoot actually works: communication, direction, working toward a shared vision, and adapting to what is happening around you. More importantly, it made me want to do more photography. Looking back now, I think this shoot was one of the seeds that eventually grew into everything I've continued doing with photography at ASU. I really loved the experience, and it pushed me to seek out more opportunities to create, collaborate, and eventually become more involved in the photography community myself.
