Throwback Thursday: Scholastic Keys 2020!

This week, I am working on some unfinished projects, so I decided I would create a post on my past work that won me my first few regional photography awards! Specifically, I earned a Gold Key, Silver Key, and an Honorable Mention award from the Scholastic Art and Writing competition held earlier this year.

This photograph was taken of Emily Foster around 1 and a half years ago (her Instagram: @emmfosterrr) that won a Gold Key in the Scholastic Art and Writing competition. I had her blow a piece of bubble gum and captured this amazing image.

I took this photograph of my friend in just her backyard and won a Silver Key in the Scholastics Art and Writing Competition! I first laid out a black blanket on the grass as a background. Next, the model slipped on some black fishnets and strapped on a pair of black heels. Then, we were good to go! I had her play with a few different foot positions, but this photo was taken as she attempted to walk towards the camera.

This photograph won an Honorable Mention in the Scholastics Art and Writing Competition. I ordered a shirt with half checker print for the model to wear. The different patterns- from the shirt, dice, and eyepiece- make this photograph the interesting and appealing image it is. The symbolism of the dice is that life is like rolling dice; many aspects of life are just plain luck.
