I like photography because I think it is the best way of capturing all the amazing moments of my life. I feel like everything in the world is pretty; however, it all depends on how you view it. Photography helps me discover the beauty of minor details.

Photography pushes me out of my comfort zone. It makes me feel alive and present, and pressing the shutter each time is making a statement of my feelings, as if I were telling myself: this is most meaningful to me; this is a moment of significance.

ILANA SILVERSTEIN
Vice President
My name is Ilana Silverstein. I am 15 and a junior at Gunn. Photography has been one of my favorite hobbies for a long time, but I really fell in love with it in the past year. My mom is a photographer, and watching her shoot and edit beautiful pictures influenced my own ideas and photos. For me, photography is a way to stretch my creativity and find a way to capture things with a different and interesting perspective. I want people to feel inspired when they look at my pictures, and I would love to be able to show people the beauty in simple everyday life. For me, photography is also an awesome way to take a break from the stresses and problems of life. When I take photos, I completely immerse myself in my surroundings, and I can truly appreciate and enjoy the beauty of nature.

To me, photography isn't just about capturing a moment. In fact, I used to dislike photography because I thought it was better to enjoy life in the moment rather than to view beauty though a two-dimensional surface. I believed that seeing things through a photograph could never be more satisfying than seeing, hearing, touching, and feeling the things in front of me. I remember watching a sunset and hearing people around me take photo after photo without stopping to realize that all of the photos they took could never reproduce what was in front of them. Only recently did I start loving photography after realizing that photography isn't just about capturing a moment- it's more about showing people the beautiful things we often miss. To me, photography is finding meaning in something seemingly simple. I take photos to capture emotions and evoke feeling, and I love photos that make you feel awestruck and make you think. I also think photography is a powerful tool for breaking barriers and communicating between culture, time, and place. It's amazing how the same photograph can speak to people in so many different ways. Someday, I want to travel the world while taking photographs that make people view life through a new perspective. I still have so much to learn about photography and have yet to develop my style, but I hope to become a great photographer! |

Hi! My name is Samantha and I'm a senior. I've always liked taking pictures, but only recently discovered my passion for photography. I enjoy it because I want to remember these moments when I am older. Also, I think that photography allows people to explore different perspectives of the world.

Hello! I'm 14 and a sophomore at Gunn. I've always had a love for photography for about as long as I can remember. When I was younger, it meant stumbling around the park with a silly grin on my face and a point-and-shoot in my hands. To this day, I still carry some sort of a camera with me wherever I go—whether it be a phone camera or a DSLR.

Hello! I am an 11th grade student, and photography is one of my favorite hobbies. I started to take pictures about 3 years ago, with the purpose of recording my memories and experiences. Now I am a little more serious, always striving to take the best pictures possible and capture emotions held in special moments. I especially like close-up, landscape, and night photography.

What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce. -Karl Lagerfeld
I’m interested in photography because taking pictures make me remind my life expressly. I always want to take pictures beautifully and skillfully but it was hard to take pictures “beautifully”. Of course, one of the biggest reason must be that my pictures never look beautifully is because of the camera (I don’t have any specific camera), but the most important is because I didn’t concentrate on the picture. (and I don’t know how) I joined the photography club, because I want to learn some skills about taking pictures and also I like taking pictures.

Photography inspires me because it's so unlimited and free. There are millions of possibilities and a variety of ways to display expressions. Dynamism, beauty, and emotions are words I use to describe photography.

Photography is an art to me. It shows beautiful feelings. It is one of the only arts that I am interested in. I started photography in 11th grade because one year of visual or performing arts is required for graduation and I don't enjoy drawing, but my friends pulled me further in. My favorite part of photography is the range of colors one can capture.
