Tucker C- Dad Shot

The title of this image is called Dad Shot. I took this photo on a trip we took to Georgia to a funeral in the car obviously. The photo was taken with my iphone air and the main tweaks I made was upping the contrast but it honestly was kinda the way I wanted it when I initially took the shot so very few adjustments. The photo I think could be better if the seatbelt wasn't in the way but that wouldn't look realistic and maybe have the sky on the left to be more gray to the sky seen in the front window. Overall I was very pleased with the photo especially for the lack of edits I made.

Addison G- The Games Untold

 The title’s name is “The Games Untold” like the cover of the book. All these photographs were taken either in the studio or around my house with items. I took it with Mr. Rigsby’s Canon Rebel T7 and my Canon RX100. I used lots of layering and honestly just messing around with filters for this project to work. I think I could’ve done better to color match my image to the original. 

Sarah J - Sunset over Appalachia

 This photo is titled Sunset over Appalachia. It was taken in Maggie Valley on the evening of July 16, 2026 on a camping trip in Smoky Mountains National Park and taken with my iPhone XR. We also went to this location at night to see the stars, but unfortunately, my phone couldn’t capture that as well. I edited it by making the greens more prominent, lowering the black point, and upping the vibrance and saturation just slightly. I tried my best to bring out the beauty of each of the colors in the original photo without oversaturating it and making it look unnatural. I believe this photo could be better if I cropped it better and made it less grainy, but, overall, I really love this picture.

Liam O- Seeing Through You

 The title is Seeing Through You, it was taken outside in the courtyard. It was taken this month october. It was taken with a cannon series camera. I edited it by first converting it to a raw camera filter. Next I merged both the background with my subject and the background without my subject. I then used the select tool to erase my subject and his insides leaving the background looking through him. I could be better if the background was a little clearer. I'm slightly disappointed with it because the idea felt better than the execution, but I'm pleased with how far I've come in my photography and how my work is being perceived. 

Anna G- The Peaceful Pigeon

 The title of this image is “The Peaceful Pigeon”. I took this photo in a park in Rome over the summer with my Nikon D5100. I edited the image by making it slightly brighter and warmer but I didn’t change it too much. I think some people think the photo would be better if her eyes were open but I personally really like how peaceful she looks with her eyes closed just resting under a tree. I love pigeons.

Aimee A- Angel of Versailles

 I named this photo “Angel of Versailles” with the help of my sister. I took it at an old church uptown on March 3, I took it with my Canon camera and I edited it by cropping the sides, making the background a little darker, and bringing out more of the shadows and the green on the angel. I think that I could have made it better if I would have cropped it from the bottom and top a bit.

River B- Pinkie

 The title of this image is Pinkie, It was taken with my s25 phone camera and it was on September 28th. I edited it by removing some of the obfuscations and cropping it how I like. This car got 7th place in the race sadly but it was one of my favorite looking ones.

Rachel N- The Pole

 This is the Pole. It was taken at Birmingham August 22, 2026. It was taken with my iPhone 15 Pro Max. I edited it by trying to fix the blurs on the top of the pole. I didn’t succeed, though. But I fixed the coloring to make it better. It could’ve been better if I put more effort on this photo.

Denver C- Last Words

 The title of this image is Last Words. I took it in my driveway. I used my nikon d3000. To take and edit the photo, I used fake blood and dirt to cover my hand, and i dripped the fake blood onto the ground so it looks like blood is dripping from something, and I adjusted the colors and lighting a small amount and added a vignette. It could have been better with a better focus and at a better time.

Renea M- Motion

 The title I decided to give this image is “Motion” again because it was taken during the Motion Conference at the BJCC Arena downtown. July 24th 2026, was the exact date it was taken, taken with my iphone. I edited by simply just a Nik collection 6 on photoshop app. It could be better by adding more effects/filters to it and maybe choosing a different photo but this is all I have. 

Reginald L- A Site Image Taken Last Year

 The name of this photo is a site image taken last year. It was taken with an iphone and I edited by upping the color and adding a little blue to make the leaves and bushes stand out more and look more colorful. I also adjusted it to where you can see the tunnel more clearly. I think it would be better if i could make the photo look less fuzzy.

Braden K - Camera and Ash

 I titled this image  “Camera and Ash”, it was taken in Lewisburg in the afternoon. It was taken with Canon EOS Rebel T3. I edited it by increasing contrast, increasing vibrance, and saturation. 

Lilly S- Sunday Sunset

 The title of my image is “Sunday Sunset”. It was taken with my iPhone 12 in my neighborhood on August 2, 2026. I only edited it slightly by lowering the exposure, increasing the brilliance a little, and using the clean up tool to remove some houses in the background. It could be better if it was angled a little more to the left. 

Anastasiia O- Beach in Destin

 This is a picture that i took on the beach in Destin Florida. The seagull was walking by and it looked really cool so I decided to snap a picture of it. I added some filters and made the colors brighter. I cropped the picture and that's about it. I took it with my phone. 

Henry H- Home

The title of this image is Home. It was taken in my backyard last year. I took it with my phone.  I edited by increasing the saturation and the clarity.I think it could have been better if it was cropped more. I like the vibrant colors and the detail in this image.
 

Angel M- Near Home

 I took this photo near my house one year ago. I really like the black and white filter on it, I think it makes the image better. I edited it using the Nik Collection filters and the Camera Raw filters. It could have been better if the background was a little sharper.

Addison G- Gracie

 The title of this image is named, Gracie. This is the name of the dog in the photograph. It is my neighbors dog. I took it about a week ago at my neighbors house when I was helping dogsit. I took it with my Canon RX100. I just fixed the lighting of the image. I could’ve made it better by touching up some spots that need fixing. 

Tucker C- Under the Staircase

I took this photo at the preserve under a staircase. I took this photo with my iphone thin air and made it slightly darker and increased the contrast. The improvements could have been to made the photo seem more straight and align due to the stairs seems crooked. Overall the photo turned out okay but honestly I rushed the editing process
 

Anna G - "Let Down"

 The title of the selected image is “Let Down”. This photo was taken last week in the photography studio. This photo was taken with one of Mr. Rigsby’s cameras (Canon EOS Rebel T7). I edited this image by adding wings and a lot of distortion. I think this photo could be better if there was less dead space at the top of the image.

River B- Bottles and fruits

 The title of this image is bottles and fruits. It was taken about a week ago and was taken in the photography room studio. It was taken with my s25 phone camera. I edited it by cropping it how I liked it. It could be better if the boot was positioned differently in the background.
