Photography

Images are the best way to capture a reader's attention and complement an article. I put in the effort to research, develop, edit, and practice my fundamental skills. From sporting events to protests to concerts, photojournalism adopts many forms. Not only have I worked in photojournalism, but I have also worked in portraiture. I have taken wedding, engagement, and senior graduation photo shoots. 

Gov. Healey signs an Education-Transportation Surtax Bill

I am very proud of the composition, and the overall moment in time of this image was captured. What felt like a simple bill signing was elevated to a more important moment because of the photograph's framing. This image also appeared on the front page of El Mundo Boston's July 3, 2025 edition.

Northeastern Women's East Hockey Championship

Traveling to UConn stadium for the East Hockey Championship in a cramped bus only to lose in a final tie-breaker was heartbreaking. Many of my sports photos show athleticism and celebration, but this match taught me how powerful moments of silence can be for a story.

The Driver Era, "Obsession Tour"

The Driver Era tour brought me back into concert photography. In the crowded photo pit, I learned to think and move quickly to capture interesting musical moments. I enjoyed this concert not only for the photography, but the opportunity to network with others.

Northeastern University Pro-Palestinian Encampment

The News conducted intense three-day coverage of the Northeastern encampment. On the first day, I photographed for 12 hours to help with the ongoing breaking news. It was an incredible experience to learn ethics, protest photography, and work vigorously with a news team.

Collaborating with reporter Zoe MacDiarmid, we traveled across the Massachusetts to capture environmental portraits of student journalists. This project was not only creatively challenging to photograph, but a chance to practice motion graphics editing.

Lt. Governor Driscoll visits the Benjamin Banneker STEAM Expo

Executing this event took time, patience, and quick thinking. The school not only had students who were on the no-photograph list, but also had varying lighting difficulties throughout the classrooms. I practiced using flash photography and quickly identifying spots to avoid students while capturing the Lt. Governor Driscoll's tour.

Boston Anti-ICE protest in solidarity with Los Angeles

While photographing this event, I felt the thrum of social justice throughout Boston. It was a chance for me to embrace the feeling and practice photographic framing.

Harvard International Students Protest

During the Harvard International Student Protest, the contrast of students actively graduating while participating in this protest was powerful. I am proud of this image because the intentional framing gives a lot of information: the organization's name, flag, etc. Next time, I would wait for a more expressive face and crop in the right to remove the small black corner.

Desiree Linden embraces a friend after completing the 129th Boston Marathon

A visual artist once told me that anyone could take a photo of someone at the finish line, and I agree. However, as seen in this image, it is the moments after that I felt like I thrived in capturing the human emotion after experiencing something so impactful.

Gov. Healey gives Mt. Holyoke Commencement Address

During the Mt. Holyoke commencement ceremony, I felt that the months of skills I learned at the State House had come to fruition. I was able to be patient for "the perfect moment," edited efficiently, and worked seamlessly with the Press Team to produce successful coverage.
