Photographer of the Week

I chose to research photographer Lee Jeffries for this assignment. The reason I chose Lee Jeffries is because his photos really caught my eye. They are so distinctly his work and I think that is really cool for a photographer to have. His "claim to fame" is photographing black and white images of homeless people all around the world. My favorite picture of Jeffries is the one below. This photo, like many of Jeffries work shows so much emotion. This one is a little different because most of them focus on the subjects eyes but I really like how this one shows so much emotion without even needing to see the eyes.

Another idea is of the Philomath Art Museum. I would take a very low shot of people walking in or out. I also think it would be a good idea to do someone working at Dairy Queen. I also might shoot the local barber cutting someones hair on Main Street. The cafe shot will definitely pose the biggest challenge because I have to have just the right angle and light to show the people inside and the sign on the window. PHOTO STORY IDEAS For my photo story I was thinking about documenting either doing a series of environmental portraits or the farmers market. For the environmental portraits I would do at least six portraits of pe...

Photo Story- Humans of Philomath

Sarah Woosley One of the most well-known faces around Philomath is Sarah Woosley. Sarah is the Associate Director at the Philomath Youth Activities Club, more commonly known as PYAC. She is responsible for personnel management, grant writing and management, community relations, and day to day Clubhouse operations. Sarah says, "it is a great balance because I get to do work in the community and with agencies around the county, but also still get to work with the kids." Sarah has been with PYAC since she moved to Corvallis in 2001. A few years later she and her family moved to Philomath after growing to love the town and community.  Blake Ecker Another familiar face around town is Blake Ecker.
