Yusuke Suzuki – First Year, Term 2 Work
Website: http://www.uskphoto.com

I was trying to capture the American flag and the people around it because I struggle to understand the symbolism that is attached to national flags.

Although Japanese people have special feelings to their flag as well, Americans seem to have even stronger feelings toward their flag. My interpretation is that the American flag seems to represent their spirit and vibrant patriotism.

Catalina Piedrahita – First Year, Second Term

This project is very personal for me, so my intentions regarding the work were, are basically to please myself. I tend to be attracted to dark images, especially when they incorporate people. The female body is beautiful and, in this particular case, it allowed me to create attractive and intriguing abstractions amid darkness.

With my photographic goal being Editorial and Fashion Photography, it is my hope that the viewer is able to appreciate the beauty within each image and aesthetically enjoy them. I want the viewer to simply stop and wonder.

Jenn Cimino - Second Year, Term 3 Work
Blog: www.jenncimino.blogspot.com
My intentions, when I set out to photograph, is to capture candid moments in people’s lives. I work a lot with children and they are challenging, but once they warm up to me, I am able to have fun and just freeze expressions and slices of time that are not your typical portraiture. I try not to be too intrusive and have a photojournalistic approach which allows me to take a step back and wait for the right time for me to snap away!

I have always loved taking pictures. After business school, I decided I wanted to pursue my passion of photographing people and events. I love working with people, especially children. The challenge of capturing candid expressions and moments is rewarding and fun.
I get to be a part of people’s lives and love being able to capture special moments that they can remember and cherish forever. I can’t wait to start this journey of pursuing my passion in the area of portraiture and wedding photography and I am excited to see what the future holds.

Yusuke Suzuki - First Year, Term 1 Work
Website: http://fotologue.jp/The-Minstrel-Boy
At first, I thought I wanted to become a photo journalist but I recently realized that I want to do a long term project rather than short term assignments like daily news. I want to tell the story by using my pictures and I believe that spending more time with the subject matter allows me to take good images.

Jess Clark - First Year, Term 2 Work
Website: http://www.jessclarkphotography.com/nesopgallery
Blog: http://www.jessclarkphotography.wordpress.com
My motivation for these images was to explore what a “portrait” was to me. I wanted something creative and unexpected from the regular idea of a portrait. My intention was to create a scene, a life, an entire world within the image without too many hints or explanation in the pictures; to create a story with mystery.
I used my Nikon D300S without a tripod, utilizing ambient light and one off-camera Nikon SB900 Speedlight.
