001 SC Primaries

On February 29th, 2020, Columbia, South Carolina held their 2020 Democratic Primaries. My classmates and I were each assigned a candidate and given various locations to document the weekend. The overall purpose of the assignment was to create a professional photo story with additional mentorship from photography professionals.

My photo story centered around the presence of marginalized communities through this election weekend. Voting is so important for this community as they have fought so hard for the right to do so, and I felt it important to recognize this. My biggest challenge with this assignment was composition and lighting, but through guidance I was able to see this improve over the course of the weekend.
