About Rue Sommer

 
 

Rue Sommer

My name is Rue Sommer and I am 18 years old. I’ve been interested in photography for a while but haven’t had access to a camera, so I’ve only done it on my phone. I briefly took a beginning photography class at Central High School but had to drop it when I switched schools. For the small amount of time I was in that class I made photograms and learned some basic rules of photography, although I never got to use a camera since that was taught after I left. Being in that class, however briefly, furthered my interest in photography. Photography is a way to capture moments in life and it can accomplish a wide variety of things, from expressing yourself creatively or bringing awareness and social change to a topic. I hope to learn how to use a camera and better my photography skills, as well as connect to a community of creative people.
