“Student Baggage” is a photo and audio slideshow about what college students carry with them every day, both physically and emotionally.
The project includes portraits of students with their bags, along with close-up photos of the things inside them. Some of the items are everyday objects like laptops, notebooks, chargers, water bottles, or snacks, while others are more personal and reveal something deeper about the student carrying them.

My goal for each photo to capture small often overlooked moments such as flowers on the side of a sidewalk, Little Libraries, reflections in cafe windows, and sidewalk chalk art. There are things that I feel offer a sense of calm you don’t always find on campus. Together, these images reflect how leaving campus, even briefly, can feel like a breath of fresh air, a little bit like an escape that can be grounding and have snippets of a comforting feeling.
The photographs in my gallery illustrate the relationship between the local restaurants around DU and students’ lives. The photographs are based on the experience of the quiet weeknight when there is activity in those places and stillness of the streets surrounding them. It was important to me to demonstrate how these restaurants become a place where the students come for meals, work, or spend time with friends. With the help of lighting, candid shots, and cityscape views, I have captured this relationship in my slideshow presentation.
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.
This photo slideshow explores the life of a student leader on campus, Avery Wright. The photos take you through Avery’s day as she balances her intense STEM coursework with her role as President of Chi Omega Zeta Mu. The goal of this work is to demonstrate the extra work that these students embed in their day to support others.
