Inside the DU Dorms: Everyday Life and Personality in Small Spaces

For my photo gallery I focus on housing and dorm life by capturing residence halls, shared living spaces, and individual rooms to show how students live daily. I highlighted details like decorations, organization, and interactions to reveal relationships and personalities. My favorite photos include my two friends playing guitar, which captures a candid moment, my roommate relaxing on her bed, where lighting and decorations show calmness and individuality, and a calendar image that adds a fun and balance to college life, showing that the student experience go beyond just academics and work.

For my audio photo slideshow I want to convey how each room is different but still connected since we all live together. For the audio, I’m thinking of using a famous movie monologue in the background or a song that everyone in our dorm loves. If I have time I also want to add short clips of my roommates and I talking or hanging out to make it feel more personal.
