Kate Dutton, 12th Grade, "Crystal Mountain"
Kate Dutton, 12th Grade, “Crystal Mountain”

Artist Statement: This photo was taken up at Crystal Mountain Resort in Washington. I was inspired by the beautiful, white, snowy trees and the almost clear sky. The contrast between the dark trees and white snow created so much more detail for the overall piece. I would love to communicate the beauty there is in nature, specifically the mountains. 

Adam Underhill, 12th Grade, "Secluded Playground"
Adam Underhill, 12th Grade, “Secluded Playground”

Artist Statement: Ansel Adams inspired the photo because I love the eeriness of his photos, but I wanted to change it up and have a picture with color. I really like this because nobody knows where it was taken, as it looks like such an unreal place. It was taken outside of a ghost town off of a former tourist destination lake that became dangerous to swim in, so it became abandoned. People then came and left a lot of weird things on the lakebed, so I was inspired to take a photo of the swing. I really enjoyed the process of getting to this place to take this photo, and I hope to take more photos like this in the future. The only challenge I have is finding more places like this, but I have a few ideas.

Artist Statement: The day this photo was taken was one of the smokiest days of 2023. It reflects the horror of the smoke seen from a positive aspect, showing beauty rather than harm, and finding the joy in a sad time.

Olivia Toche, 12th Grade, “Moody Falls”

Artist Statement: This piece was taken while on a hike at Snoqualmie Falls. I took the photo from the upper observation area, then used Photoshop for editing.
Since the photo was taken during winter and there were a lot of clouds, I wanted the photo to have a moody feel. I used Dylan Furst’s editing technique to bring out the highlights and the shadows in the landscape.
I chose to do photography as my medium for this piece because it is something that I am comfortable with, and I like being able to capture the world around me. I always have a camera with me, and photography is a great way for me to capture the world as I am seeing it.

Cole French, 12th Grade, "Mirrored Majesty"
Cole French, 12th Grade, “Mirrored Majesty”

Artist Statement: While I was walking through the trees a lake appeared and showed this peak behind it. I want to communicate a serene beautiful photo of nature. I like working in the mountains and this is where I feel my best work can come from.  One thing that is hard about shooting in the mountains is that It is far away and I can’t get out there to shoot as often.

Connor Osborn, 12th Grade, "Twilight Slopes"
Connor Osborn, 12th Grade, “Twilight Slopes”

Artist Statement: I was up skiing at Alpental and as I was skiing down, I saw the sun spreading throughout the clouds, I thought it was a pretty cool look and decided to snap a picture. What I like about photography is that you can turn a moment that most people would breeze by into a photograph that people can take time to soak in.
