Maine Media Workshop Summer 2010

Since I was eight years old I have always dreamed of becoming a professional photographer. My dream became alive as soon as I stepped onto the Maine Media campus last summer. Everyone there shares a passion and love for some form of art, and to see people come together to create such beautiful things is well, magical. 

While there I spent two full weeks overnight participating in the Advanced Young Digital Photographers program where I learned all about Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, lighting, portraiture, action shots, but most of all, I learned about myself as an artist. Everyday I could see myself growing full of new knowledge and experience I never would have gained here at home. I discovered my strengths and weaknesses when it came to composing pictures. The two weeks there brought me new friendships and contacts of young artists all around the world. I mingled with Filmmakers and Film Photographers about their interests in the professional field of art and what they hope to pursue. Maine Media provided me with such a memorable experience that will always stay with me.




Here are some of my favorite pictures I took while there:

As of now I am not as active in my photography as I would like to be. I do occasionally post to my flickr account which is always a great way for me to keep up with my photos! Enjoy!
