Portraits: Matthew and Akil

Here are some portraits I shot with Matthew and Akil back in February. Check them out on Instagram (Matthew, Akil) to see some more of their awesome style. Matthew Matthew’s a photographer too and you can see their work here.

Senior Portraits: Christina

I shot some grad portraits for Christina to send home to family. We were going for a sort of “look, I’m so smart I’m graduating” vibe, so we went down into the stacks of Tisch Library.

Sports: Tufts Women’s Basketball

I have so few shots from this Tufts-Babson game because, get this, there were three other Daily photographers there, two of whom were there to get trained on sports photography. Basketball is hard to shoot because it’s so dark in the gym!

You can read the article, which I…

Sew-cial Activism Costume Photos

Here’s something different: costumes. Last semester, the Tufts Drama and Dance Department offered a class called “Sew-cial Activism,” where students studied costuming as a form of political statement and made their own political costumes. See if you can guess what all these costumes are about. You can mouse over the images to see the answers….
