I think Seattle Central Community College has the better program because, it offers way more opportunities after you graduate from their school. Even though New York Film Academy offer more classes than Central, their program is way longer and your learning a lot about photography in the first semester. And your taking the right kind of photos in different positions and the right kind of lighting and the different techniques you can use, also the type of style you want.

Homework (Artist Study)

Chrissie White is a 16 year old photographer from Seattle, Washington. White is an Internet art star. She has a breadth of fully realized photographic ideas that would have been impossible for a freshman in high school living in a Seattle suburb before the age of online social networking. She got interested in photography in 2006, she explored photography a lot and went through a phase of really admiring the art. she use to take her little Kodak camera to school and take pictures of her friends. She got interested more when she met a girl name Elle on myspace and found her pictures on flickr, and it all progressed from there. Photography suited her best because she's horrible at drawing and writing.

Chrisse White is inspired by a lot of things, usually she just see an object, or a place and visualize a scene which could take place incorporating that. However, she's been  into more spontaneous and candid photos lately. She always have a vision of what she want the picture to turn out like, so she compose accordingly. Her Largest inspiration is simply the world around her. Chrissie White is trying to accomplish, being a good photographer, give her fans something to be inspired by, let people know that what ever you set your mind to you can do it you just got to believe in yourself and have faith, and she just want to be successful with her work and hope it'll bring her far in the future.  She also hope maybe one day she'll take an iconic image and leave an everlasting imprint on someones heart

What I like about the artist is that, she's young first of all,  she has a good idea of what she wants to do with her work, she inspires people to do what they always wanted to do in life, just by looking at one of her photographs. I also like that she role plays in her head before she starts shooting, placing people and or  objects in her head, so that way the shoot can be fast and smooth and she don't have to think and take a lot of time. I connect to her work because they either telling a story with no words , or their setting a mood by the way every thing's put together. She puts me in the mood to make me want to start fulfilling my dream of being a photographer, I just got to take that first step to success. The aspect of her work I would like to try to use in my  photography is the style, it's very unique and creative. She has like teenage love type of pictures, something you would see in your everyday life, party sense's, and it's so realistic, like she just walked past some people going on about their day and took a picture and used it. Her pictures say alot and I like that about an artist, I hate when you have to think about what the picture is saying, I like to just know by taking two minutes looking at it.




Here's some of her work:
