My name is Nhan Nguyen, I attend Serra High School and am in my senior year. Intrigued with photography and its multiple variables and intricacies, I took the first year photography course my freshman year, and was ecstatic to take the second year course to further my knowledge and improve my composition skills. I enjoy balancing the multiple variables at play when taking a picture; adjusting the aperture and ISO in lower light conditions, or cranking up the shutter speed to capture fast motion clearly etc. In doing so I am able to benefit in my problem-solving abilities, a trait applicable to further aspects of academic work and life beyond school. I also enjoy the socialization involved in working collaboratively on group projects or while taking portraits. Overall I enjoy the multiple aspects of photography, and am interested in exploring more deep and intricate parts of photography this semester.

My Year (1st half)
I thoroughly enjoy the class, and as a senior it is one of few classes in which I haven't developed senioritis in. I think I have furthered my photo-taking techniques, and integrating composition techniques into pictures as opposed to just pointing and shooting. It has also allowed me to break out of my shell a little, since the class requires a lot of interaction with the instructor and peers. A few goals I have for the class is improving my Photoshopping skills, and being aware of lighting situations. I'd also like to dedicate more time to taking pictures outside of class, particularly in nature photography.
