Interview Assignment

This falls under homework for thesis class. I didn't want to do a standard Q&A so I wrote a report.  

            For the interview assignment, I was instructed to question and report on fellow student Rachel Clinton. Miss Clinton is a fourth year senior concentrating in the art of digital photography. Originally from the nearby village of Bridgewater, New Jersey, Miss Clinton attended high school where she studied painting and drawing extensively. However, upon graduating from her high school, Rachel Clinton revealed that she was tired of art and so she made the decision to attend Rutgers for that university had many majors and a good art school should Miss Clinton ever change her mind. Rutgers also had a painting studio which swayed Miss Clinton’s heart away from other possible schools that she could have attended. It was at this prestigious university that Rachel Clinton discovered that she had a love of photography and so enrolled in Mason Gross. Her camera of choice is a cannon digital single lens reflex or DSLR. She recently traveled the land taking photographs as she journeyed. However, Miss Clinton prefers the human body as her subject of choice. While she is uninterested in portrait photography, Rachel Clinton prefers the abstracted form of the human body. Every aspiring artist is inspired by one of the legends and Rachel Clinton is no different. She lists Edward Weston and Bill Brandt as among a few photographers that have influenced her work. She also has a few mentors ranging from a former classmate to Gary Snider, who she had the privilege of having as an instructor for three semesters. She sights Gary Snider’s ability to point out which specific aspect of her work evokes which specific emotion as being most helpful. While Rachel Clinton is no doubt a skilled photographer, she will state that she needs to work on improving how she presents her work and that she needs to work on making decisive choices in regards to the installation process. When not refining her craft, Rachel Clinton enjoys dancing, reading and a variety of outdoor activities ranging from hiking to kayaking. After college, Miss Clinton hopes to obtain an internship as an assistant to a photographer or in magazine production. She would also like to work as a freelance photographer or anything that pertains to photo editing. Rachel Clinton would be willing to work anywhere where she can thrive and learn will being challenged.
