My theme is This Autumn.

My final and self-portrait were both taken this fall hence the theme “This Autumn”.

This quarter was my first time using film cameras, and I was unsure how I was going to feel about it. I had never taken photos in black and white, and I was nervous I wouldn’t get any good pictures. but I ended up getting lots of good pictures! As well as I learned a lot. I had so much fun although I struggled a bit.

Hello, my name is Evan, and I am 17. I chose this photo of cattails to be my final print because I really like the lighting and clarity of it. I took it with my 200 mm lens at a pond in a forest. Over my years of photography, I have developed a style in which lines and shapes are emphasized. Lighting and tonality are also very important to me, and I am proud of the natural contrast I was able to achieve in this photo. I plan to take more photos like this in one more Youth in Focus class before I go to college.

These photos represent the feeling of joy I had in my childhood even though I’m still young these photos remind me of what my younger self was like. I have two younger sisters who I get to watch grow up, and they remind me of me at their age and all the things I had back then. These photos are for them to look back on to remind them of their childhood.

I titled my statement ‘Nostalgia’ because I feel that looking at these pictures, in the future, I will feel nostalgic pieces of my childhood. Having these photos as physical copies feels as if I have the memory in my hands. I would like to thank Youth in Focus for helping me blossom my creativity and photography skills. I am truly grateful for this opportunity.
