During my admissions process, I was faced with the decision of choosing a VPA class, and that’s when I stumbled upon photography. Initially, I was unsure about it, but I decided to give it a try. It was something different from the other VPAs I had taken in middle school, and I fell in love with photography.

The photos I took in that class are still some of my favorites that I have taken at Jesuit.

What initially sparked your enthusiasm for your chosen discipline? What else are you involved in at JHS?

I originally became interested in photography simply from seeing prints in museums from famous photographers. I thought the images were amazingly detailed and unique, and wanted to try my own hand at photography.
