“I thought it would be neat to capture the orange sunset glare across the stark blue skyscrapers of Philadelphia.” -K. Johns (‘28)

Pictures are one of the most impressive things humans ever invented. Whether it’s a beautiful sunset, the impressive infrastructure, or other commonly missed things in the bustle of life, some have stopped to capture these sorts of moments to admire. Multiple students in Lawrence High School have shown their skills when it comes to photography, capturing the beauty of our world that many others don't see. We’re here today to highlight some of these students and their work.

When it comes to photography, snapping a picture may seem simple, however there is a thought process that must be taken into mind. There are theorems and rules one must take into account while staging a picture, such as lighting, angles, the rule of thirds, settings, and scenery. There are actually classes you can take here at LHS for this, but some also do it as a simple hobby. Either way, it’s certainly a gift to possess the creativity to make pictures like this possible.

Below are more examples of other students interested in photography:

“The reflection of the post-sunset waterline is extravagant” -Emily Hullfish (‘28)
