Look, See, & Feel

“What I enjoy from Nature Photography Club is being able to freely express so many things in one photo . . . and the overall freedom of being able to express myself . . .When taking photos I like to convey macro shots, or close-ups in other words. As well I enjoy capturing the raw weather, like reflection on water, or light-to-shadow contrast.” 

– Artist statement, Maury River 6th grader

Each year, Boxerwood educator – and professional photographer – Brittany Klinger teaches middle schoolers how to connect with both their inner and outer worlds with the help of a camera. Youth enroll in the club as part of YAS (Youth Achieving Success), a federally-funded after-school program at Maury River Middle School. These photos are from the youth’s spring show. Enjoy.
