Zaina


Zaina always surprises me with how well she does at capturing the essence of multiple visual voices. She has many and is able to pull them all off excentelly. I would love to be able to take pictures in many different ways, with many different vibes, all so definate as hers. She works especially well with lighting and cropping, even in situations that arent always in her complete control. Photographing on the street, she was even able to make the lighting work for the voice she wanted that phototograph to have. She also was consistantly good at bringing depth into her photos. I was always impressed by Zaina's photography, and often found myself saying "Wait...YOU took that?!"



Zaina was able to thrive in any project we were assigned, but especially enjoyed street photography. Her enjoyment of this particular assignment really shone through her photographs. She was able to capture situations and emotions that really told a lot about people she, nor any of the rest of us, knew at all. I still have trouble Certier Bresson's- the photographer she chose to study. He inspired her work in a really positive way, and in her attempts to emulate it she brings her own voice. This was a really succesful shoot for Zaina.
