The Life of Nicole as Told by Nicole

Photo by Maddie Kolu

I'm a 22 year old college senior (graduating this semester... YAY!) majoring in Art with an emphasis in Photography. When I began my college career, I was headed in the health science direction, and shortly thereafter discovered that I can't handle blood, and I absolutely hate needles. So I quickly changed my major to my one true love, photography. I discovered my love for photography as a child, when I ordered a blue Pokemon film camera from a cereal box. I carried it with me everywhere, and transitioned from camera to camera until eventually, in 2008, I graduated to my first DLSR. Throughout high school I experimented with all different types of photography, and came to the conclusion that my main interest was in portraiture. I've been taking senior, and family portraits since around 2010, and just recently in 2015 took the plunge into wedding, engagement, and bridal photography. I would say that my strong point is individual portraiture.

And a few other odds and ends...


In this class, I'm hoping to gain a greater appreciation for the work that photojournalists do. I feel as though the work that photojournalists do is completely different than my portraiture, and I'm interested in learning about what they're thinking as they're shooting, and how to tell a story with a photograph, which I feel is a critical talent that photojournalists possess.
