WJI 2019, Day 5 PM

Confined to a couple of buildings due to an Iowa deluge, 28 WJI students put into practice photography techniques they learned in the classroom. We roamed the near-empty campus of Dordt University, looking for any object or location that would reveal a good angle.
A few of us meandered through the sterile-white halls in the science building. We found a workshop full of electronics, wood, and assorted tools. What better spot to take some staged portraits?
We soon went to the Campus Center, grabbing shots of our friends in the winding hallways on the way. The rooms, often lit only by natural light, provided an excellent opportunity to work on some of the things photography instructor Tiffany Owens showed us that afternoon. The handful of administrators working today gave us confused glances. Needless to say, those looks didn't necessarily disappear after we explained our mission for photos.
The day ended with an engaging crash course in basic filmography with Dordt's Mike Volkers. We'll be putting all of our lessons with photography and filming to good work in the upcoming days by exploring some untold stories of Sioux Center, Iowa.
