12 Project: Photo Shoot

You’ve been hired as a photographer to capture images of STA students. Your client is looking for images of students involved in everyday activities, potentially posed/staged, but wants the pictures to look “natural.” These pictures will possibly be used for social media posts. Keep in mind the STA tagline “Academics amplified. Professions launched.”

Our motivation for this is the photos of former student Jacqueline Ayala, who has done work with Foot Locker. You’ll see a couple of pictures of hers in the first phase of the Quest.
