As someone who has been in the photography field for over ten years, I’m currently focusing on Visual Communication Management in grad school. In simple terms, I am learning how to guide emerging photographers and designers to become better visual communicators. For the final project in my management class, we interviewed a leader in the community about their thoughts and approaches to management and leadership.
My Graduate Assistanship is at the Athens Photo Project, a non-profit organization based in Athens, Ohio. APP strengthens mental health recovery by providing individuals with the opportunity to engage in self-discovery, creative expression, and community contribution through the arts. I interviewed my boss and Executive Director of the program, Nate Thomson.
I wanted to figure out a way to visually represent the interview and put together all the other things I’d been learning during the semester. Having photos part of the assignment was a no-brainer, but I decided to put together a simple, one-page scrolling website and even tried my hand at video. Never having made a video before, it was a bit rough, but I enjoyed the challenge and I’m sure after my intro video class this upcoming semester, I’ll hone my skills.
