On any assignment, I have one objective: Catch your eye. As photographers we work first and foremost through sight. And from sight we can trigger in viewers and of the other senses. A successful photograph can trigger any feeling. My job, in essence, is to start a chain of reactions within you, the viewer, and to continue it once the image is out of sight.
My main focus in this body of work is to use people for more than face value. On a basic level, I am motivated to use all my tools, both technical and aesthetic, and then take it a step further. Particularly with people, I am pushing myself to craft a photograph where the model plays as intricate role as my lighting choices or my composition, etc. And as with lighting, perspective, or composition, a model has an infinite amount of potential. People are light to me, a tool I can mold to succeed.
From an early age, photography played an intricate role in my life. On elementary school trips, I always had my mother get me a camera so I could document my experience and surroundings in a way no one else could. Film photography followed me through high school and college. And after graduation, I realized I should be sharing my perspective, and eventually create a carrier out of my passion: photography.

I see my friends taking care of their families every day and always putting themselves last in this process (like so many mothers do) and I wanted them to be the stars; to look great and just stand out for one day. Some people think that there is some sort of social commentaire going on… but none of this even crossed my mind while assembling these photos.
I really just wanted to have some fun and do something fanciful with my friends and their families. I hope the photos delight people and they enjoy them as images and see the playfulness.

Dana Curran – First Year, Term 3 Work
A year ago today I was “relieved of my duties” as Communications Specialist for a leading financial investment company. A year ago tomorrow I sent an email to a former NESOP graduate to find out if you could really make a life and a living as a photographer. A week later I stepped into her studio and my life changed.
Today, one year later, I was the lead photographer for the Evian Live Young Photo Studio Event in New York City hosted by tennis player Maria Sharapova.
Evian brand ambassadors invited New Yorkers off the street to model in their own Babies on the Inside Ad campaign. They were given Rollerbabies Tshirts and were encouraged to show their ‘live young spirit.’ Within minutes their photos popped up on a supersized digital collage on site and on Evian’s facebook page, instantly becoming part of Evian’s Global Live Young Community.
The focus of this campaign promotes Evian’s Live Young Month encouraging New Yorkers to seek memorable experiences, try new things, and seize every moment. How ironic. If you asked me a year ago to picture what I would be doing today it would look NOTHING like this. I didn’t even own a decent camera.
I feel incredibly lucky. Every day for the last year I have devoted myself to seek memorable experiences, try new things, and live young every moment.

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.

Jess Clark - First Year, Term 2 Work

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.

Morgan Yeager—Second Year, Term 2 Work

1. What was your motivation for this project/these images?
My motivation is always images in food magazines that make me not only want to eat the food, but appreciate the beauty of it even in its natural or less-than-perfect state.
2. Describe your technique for making these images. (film or digital, camera used, settings and ISO, tripod or none, alternative process(es), etc.)
I shot all these with my Nikon D300 dSLR. I always use an ISO of 200 or lower when shooting with Pro-foto powerpacks. I generally use a tripod and shoot directly to the computer. Finding the best lighting to accentuate texture and color is important when shooting food.
3. What is your intention behind this work/in making this work?
My intention is to create images that portray food as an art form – both in its natural state as well as after it has been manipulated and combined with other ingredients.
4. What response do you hope to get from your viewers?
I want the viewers to find the food appetizing, get inspired to cook something themselves, appreciate that which the earth supplies and connect with what it is they are eating.
5. What other artists or art serve(s) as your inspiration?
Right now, I really enjoy looking at the work of Anna Williams, Andrew Hetherington and Jonny Valiant.

Dominic Casserly–First Year, Term 2 Work
Blog: http://photothon.blogspot.com/
Website: http://www.Domathon.com/
1. What was your motivation for this project/these images?
These images are all photo-sets I shot for assignment for Digital Capture Class. I love shooting portraits as well as spaces; I think the details that are involved in a portrait are just as important as the people in the photo.
2. Describe your technique for making these images. (film or digital, camera used, settings and ISO, tripod or none, alternative process(es), etc.)
I shoot only digital. I’d rather not spend the time or money making single prints at a time in a wet dark room. With digital, I can shoot and go through all of my workflow from the backseat of a car or in my tent. I’ve been able to shoot images, edit and get them uploaded to the Web all in the same day, while out in the field. I love that! As far as technique goes, I use anything I can to get the shot—a tripod, a low ISO, flash… And, you always have to connect with the model.
3. What is your intention behind this work/in making this work?
My intention for my portraits is to get people interested not only in the subject, but also in the world he/she inhabits. That’s why I use multiple images in the same photo. It allows me to more effectively tell a story—to offer a more complete understanding of the life of the subject than a single image could.
4. What response do you hope to get from your viewers?
I hope viewers see my work and want to know who these people are or perhaps share in their lifestyle(s).
5. What other artists or art serve(s) as your inspiration?
My inspiration comes from magazines, movies, catalogues and other photographers. If I had to pick just one, I would say I would like to shoot what Embry Rucker shoots.
