Jaime Weissman, founder of the new UMD online magazine The Campus Trainer

Emily Robins, sells baked good from Goldilocks Goodies at The Farmer's Market on campus.



I think that the portrait of Jaime correctly complimented the reason I decided to take a picture of her: The impressive feat of starting a new publication on campus for people who want to pursue a healthy lifestyle. The Campus Trainer is a online publication that focuses on fitness and health. By having her pose in front of flowers, I try to surround her with something that evokes life.

The lighting around Emily in the second portrait was very difficult to adjust. The best picture I was able to take was this one where she is casually thanking a customer and at the same time checking her phone. Even though it does show that she is dedicated to her work, I feel that it would have been more powerful to have her look at the camera.
