It’s been weeks since the state of Michigan has been in a lock down order from the governor, and Jake is running out of options. This is an average night for an average student.

Shot Composition at Home
This was an interesting assignment because I was really limited in my resources. I had to shoot with my phone since I don’t have a DSLR, but the quality on my phone is good enough where I felt I was able to full participate in this assignment even if I was limited. I was also limited when it came to subjects to shoot so I focused on my dog, youngest brother, and mother.
A Weekend At Home




This isn’t actually the first photo story I have done. Last semester, I was in a photography class in the journalism department and a photo story was our last major assignment. Though they were the same idea, they were completely different experiences. This time i was much more limited to my house, whereas for the last assignment i spent taking pictures at a friends dinner party as well as the grocery store, setup, tear down, etc. I was also limited to only using my phone to take pictures since I don’t own a DSLR camera. I found it interesting that I was taking pictures of what I wanted to tell as a picture story. When I knew there’d be a lot of redecorating this day as we were getting new furniture, I saw it as an opportunity to show how the inside of the house changed and who contributed.
Life Inside

Pictured above is Ryan West. He is a freshmen at Cedar Springs high school, which means he is currently on a multi-week vacation spent at home. When taking his head shot, It wanted to make sure I sure the image evoked the mood that spending all day inside is like. I messed around with the lighting a few times and felt this helped portray a warmer feeling of being inside, warm, and safe.
