Taking It All In: Kenai Fjords National Park
This week I had a burst of activity. Thursday I visited Exit Glacier of Kenai Fjord National Park, and Friday I took my first boat tour of the park (photos to come in next post). As a photojournalist, it’s hard for me to not immediately download photos and edit away, critiquing the moments I captured that…

Alaska Sea Life Center
Wednesday, I got to visit the Alaska Sea Life Center. Honestly, a place my nerdy self could sit in for hours and observe animals in. The Sea Life centers interests me in many ways. I’ve always had an interest in zoos- and a confusing moral standing on animals in captivity. But this place really tickles…

Alaska – Day One
I arrived in Alaska at 2:30 p.m. Alaskan time yesterday for literally the internship of a lifetime.

Extra portfolio photo #2: Fashion
Niki Devito poses in studio for a fashion photo showing off lavish lashes and make up trends. This fashion photo was achieved with a high soft box to the left of the model, but centered enough to avoid rembrandt lighting triangles under the eyes. I wanted to the lighting to be dramatic. To show the…

Creating Beauty Standards
Technology’s advancement is usually wonderful thing, but for the first time in our every day media we are looking up to images of people that sometimes aren’t actually real. People in magazines, television, movie posters, and many other aspects of media are being manipulated and changed in ways that most of us don’t realize. The…

Additional Photo #1: Photo Illustration
953,077 animals were used in laboratory research in 2012 according to the US statistics. This topic of animal testing has been an incredibly popular one both currently and in the years past. Just in the past years an incredibly graphic project in a London “Lush” storefront protested the cause by putting a volunteer through similar…
