Visual Literacy Statement
Throughout my time in Visual Literacy I have grown as a photographer, filmmaker and visual storyteller through our presentations, work with Airlie-Berkshire Farms, and various practical applications of the skills that we worked to teach each other throughout the course. I went from thinking of myself as solely a nature photographer with little idea of how the process of commercial work functions, to having confidence and learning skills that I will be able to carry forward with me. Another important realm I which I have grown is my ability to create and edit short films. The "Airlie At Your Table" segment allowed me to see all sides of the production process and allowed me to experience and gain first hand practice with these new skills.

Airlie Client Presentation
Throughout my time working with Airlie I got lots of experience working to photograph in a commercial setting on an assignment. In the past my photography has been centered around shooting animals freely, with the goal of making prints and shooting the scenes of the farm allowed me to experience what I will need to do in a professional setting regarding shooting a site for advertisement purposes. For the client presentation I spoke about Airlie Photo of the Day, which is a social media series we created for Airlie's platforms. This series connects local photographers to the farm and benefits both parties, as Airlie gets to show off it's beauty, and artists get social media exposure.
