help-portrait | 10 december 2011

hey bulb followers and photo friends!
i think this is a superb idea that deserves our attention.
please check out "help-portrait" and consider organizing an event.
get your class, club, group or friends together and help out some folks in need.
it does not have to be much, but tis the season.
what a great way to use our skills for good!

proud to present "life & death" winning photographer: audry shapai

enjoy the works of winning student photographer, audry schapai!

audry is a student at the art institute of charlotte studying to earn a ba in photography. 

she has always understood the importance of capturing a moment. with the passing of her father, 

she realized that we should never take anything for granted because things will always change. 

audry  is currently in the process of deciding what branch of photography she wants to concentrate in.

some of her favorites include photojournalism and fine art, 

but there is also an interest in industrial and portrait photography. 

the work included below is a selection of images that have been 

produced throughout her educational career. 

each image exhibits a different photographic technique or tool including 

digital pinhole, medium format cameras, tilt shift lenses and plastic lens holga cameras. 

to contact audry or view more of her work, visit her page at shutterfly!
