Artist statement:
I am a senior at Central High School and this is my second year in
photography. I enjoy all aspects of photography but when it comes to my own
personal work I enjoy doing fashion photography. Every set of photos I take
leans towards fashion. In this particular photo I tried to get across a sense of
loneliness and abandonment by dressing my model in a certain outfit and having
her pose in a certain way.

photograph shows the “memories” of the many trees that once lived . The line of leaves

photograph, following the line of leaves, where there is a devastated land.

Artist statement:
I’m a senior at Central High School and in independent studies photography. My
work ranges as in subjects, but I generally like to take portraits. I love to use a lot of
contrast in my prints, it gives it a grainy look. These particular pictures were interesting
to me because of the way I had my models dressed, the props I used and the way I

reticulated the negatives. The bad negative wasn’t intentional, but the out come was very
interesting and cool looking.

Artist statement:
I am a junior at Central High in my second year in photography. This photo was
taken as a color transparency and I converted it to a black and white print, and toned it
blue. I took this picture on a trip to Payson with the Visions program at Central. This
photo means a lot to me because I feel I have never really been a creative person, so
when I did this I proved to myself that I can be just as creative as any other person.

Cecily Cano
school:

teacher:
Ms. J. Mariahazy
Artist statement:
My name is Cecily Cano and I am a second-year photography student at Central
High School. These photographs were, originally, color slides, which I used to make
Polaroid transfers from. The first photo, “In Bloom,” depicts a single bright pink flower
in bloom among darkness. It represents new life and hope to me. The second photo,
“Lagoon Path,” shows a small river winding through many trees and rocks. This photo

brings about a sense of peace and serenity in nature. It chose to matt the photos together
because they are both beautiful parts of nature that reflect some important aspect of life.

title of work: “FLOWER GIRL”
medium:
Toned & hand-colored B&W print
student:
Cecily Cano
school:
Central High
teacher:
Ms. J. Mariahazy
Artist Statement:
My name is Cecily Cano and I am a second-year photography student at Central
High School. I took this photograph of one of my friends sitting by the lake, while she
held flowers in front of her face. I chose to tone this print blue to emphasize the
melancholy mood of the photo and the subject’s face. I also chose the color blue because
of the water in the background. I think the blue makes the girl’s face stand out more
against the background. I also chose to hand-color the flowers in front of her to give the
photo more vibrancy. The photo represents the boldness and beauty of the girl, just as
the flowers have these same qualities.

teacher:

Artist Statement:
My name is Lorena Muñoz and I am a senior at Central High School. This is my second
year in photography. When I was in beginning photo, I took pictures of my Chihuahua
named Suavecito. The funny things about the photos are that I dressed him up in
costumes that I made or bought. Since he passed away, I just wanted to bring him back
and the only way to do that was to print out a photo of him. Also, I needed a laugh to feel
better. In the photo, “In Memory of Suavecito”, Suavecito has on a pair of round ears,
like a bear, that I cut out of a patterned paper. Not only is the photo memorable and
funny, it is also solarized. I solarized the photo to add a different technique rather than
just a plain black and white photo.

teacher:
Ms. Judith Mariahazy
Artist Statement:
My name is Caitlin Cook. I am a senior at Central High School. I have taken
photography for the last two years. The subjects I tend to shoot really vary with my
mood, but I most enjoy shooting subjects from a close up angle. This project is a
combination of three hand-colored black and white images. The stark difference between
the black tones and the bright colors help to emphasize the meaning of the title. These
images symbolize to me the emotional ups and downs of everyday life. A person can be
very depressed and cold about a subject (cool shades), neutral about life (neutral shades),
or can be very happy and passionate about their experiences (warm shades).
