If you could be a SuperHero? What would your name be and what would be your Superpower?
If I were a superhero, I would be The Director and my power would be the ability to have total control over actors and camera operators. As a filmmaker, it is particularly hard to get your people to do what you want so you can make the film the way you want. If I was The Director, I would always get everything done exactly the way I want!
Describe your session to someone that was not at the session. (Best part, funniest moment, coolest location, etc)
From the start, I had a few specific ideas for my pictures. I wanted to shoot a few pictures with a classic style motorcycle my family possessed which turned out to look very cool. We shot near a creek in the late afternoon which caused the water to turn a aqua-blue color and that looked great as well. Despite the intrusive nature of my cat looking to insert himself in my pictures, we had a great day and the photos are terrific!
What was the best High School moment so far or what are you going to miss most about High School.
I started the video program at Animas High School which eventually became an integral part of my student life. I have watched it transform from a small group of students with very little equipment to a fully staffed program that produces shows that I have created. I think I will miss making these shows the most but I plan of making many more in college and beyond!
What are your future plans after high school?
I plan on attending film school either on the East or West coast. After that, I hope to break into the film industry and make my own films and shows.
What would you like others to know about Allison Ragsdale Photography?
Allison was absolutely amazing and was able to make my session as great is it possibly could be. She let me have a lot of freedom with specific ideas I had for pictures and she was very helpful when I asked for her advice. Shooting was quick, painless, and actually very fun! I wanted to take a couple of pictures at my home and at a special location downtown. With Allison, this was more than possible and the photos came out great. I would recommend Allison any day!
