Experimenting with shutter speed, aperture, depth of field, the rule of thirds, and light,\u00a0 students from Professor Krista Svalbonas\u2019s Digital Photography 1 class explored a particular theme or idea in these photographs Practicing different techniques has pushed students to identify certain technical and aesthetic characteristics of a photograph inside and outside of the classroom.\u00a0 According to Svalbonas, \u201cDigital Photography 1 introduces students to the fundamental terminology, concepts, methodologies, and techniques of digital photography. It focuses on the principles of composition, lighting, and visual story telling in photography.\u201d<\/p>\n
These photos show students\u2019 perspectives on \u201chow to tell a narrative story of the human experience\u201d through digital photography, according to Professor Svalbonas. Svalbonas encouraged students to \u201cphotograph something that you feel strongly about, that interests you and you want to learn more about.\u201d<\/p>\n
For Dylan Eddinger \u201919, Digital Photography 1 has challenged him to come out of his comfort zone as a photographer. As Eddinger reflects on taking Digital Photography 1, he now feels confident that \u201c<\/em>I can effectively create my own narrative in photographs.\u201d Eddinger recalls one of the biggest obstacles he faced:photographing a series of photos that\u201c<\/em>involved something bigger than myself.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n Eddinger chose to shoot his photographs at different locations throughout the city of Philadelphia. Prior to taking each photograph, he had a specific vision in mind. The man he photographed surrounded by American flags is a Philadelphia native and blues rocker who idolizes Bruce Springsteen. \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0One of Eddinger\u2019s favorite images in the exhibition is from his long exposure series that contains the tagline for the fight against opioid addiction; \u201cIt only takes a little to lose a lot.\u201d In a place where heroin takes over the streets, Eddinger found himself walking past \u201cmany struggling homeless people, and witnessed two corner deals\u201d as he stood under the L train in Kensington Philadelphia at 2:45 am. As a result of witnessing what many people face in their daily lives, Eddinger believes that \u201c<\/em>there is hope for these people who have become addicted in our city.\u201d Using photography, Digital Photography 1 had the opportunity to bring social and political issues in Philadelphia to light.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cPhotography can offer you a new way to look at your surroundings.
