Amanda Reardan

My name is Amanda Reardan and I am a fifteen year old sophomore at Ukiah High School. This year, I am taking the advanced photography class where we learn new ways to take striking photographs that capture our ideas.

Even as a young girl, I loved to take photographs with my

parent’s small Canon camera,

but soon wanted my own to experiment with. I received a

blue Kodak (which I still have)

and went crazy, snapping photographs of anything and I have not stopped since.

The day before I was to leave

for a Washington D.C trip in 8th grade, my grandfather gave my family a Canon PowerShot

SX60 HS, which is an amazing camera. This camera is also part of the reason I fell in love with photography even more which is why I take it everywhere.

My favorite form of photography is almost anything outdoors and alive. I love to be able to lose myself in my surroundings, trying to showcase the way I see nature. I was raised outdoors and developed an early appreciation for its beauty. Whenever I need an escape from school or stress, I just grab my camera and go outside, snapping photos of whatever I can find, especially my favorite willing and loyal subject, my dog Rosie.

 

My parents and family have supported me tremendously from the very beginning, giving me ideas and being enthusiastic to stop at short notice on a road trip and go on an adventure for a photograph. I am also very grateful to my teacher Lech Slocinski for continuing to support my photography and helping me improve through amazing opportunities.
