I am a photography major

Stephen Eberly
do you prefer film or digital?
5:15
Dylan Savoca
hmm....honestly I'm not sure. I like both the same but I am leaning more towards digital now. I hate the smell of the darkroom! haha. There are points where I feel like I get better images using film but I love being able to manipulate my images on the computer without the hassle of developing and scanning into the computer.

Would you say you have a style? If so, how you describe it?
5:22
Dylan Savoca
I don't know if you can call it a style. I mean sometimes I can be traditional but most of the time I like to shoot to confuse or catch interest. If I shoot a landscape or a fire pit, I want it to look like nothing else. I want people to get their own interpretation of my work. Maybe even to find things within my pieces. Like make flames look like a dragon or a face.

Why photography?

Dylan Savoca
Ever since I was little, I would always love to pretend to take pictures. I remember getting cameras for Christmas and birthdays just so I could take everyone's picture. It just stuck when I got to high school and was able to take real classes for it.
I always felt that I could see things differently. Like when I see something interesting I would always say "wow that would be a great picture!"

I know a lot of your work is of plantlife and landscapes. Do you have a preference over using modes in your photography?
5:39
Dylan Savoca
Yes, I've shot a few sweet sixteens, a 50th wedding anniversary and a wedding and I feel like with people or models, they always move or they aren't placed the way I want them to be. With nature, it doesn't move, it doesn't talk back or frustrate me. I always find the most comfort in shooting nature and landscapes. It is just so natural and beautiful and sometimes ugly but that's the beauty in it. I love capturing that beauty and being able to explain it in my own way.

Any clue what you're doing for thesis?
5:46
Dylan Savoca
Haha funny you should ask! I had an idea a few weeks ago but not I am unsure. My idea I thought was too simple for my thesis project. Being that it is the last big project we do senior year, I want it to be harder than what I decided to do in the first place. So at the moment, no I'm still trying to figure out what would be best for me to do.
5:48
Stephen Eberly
Well, good luck on developing an idea. Is there anything else you wanted to say about you, or your work?
5:53
Dylan Savoca
Photography is my passion. I just hope that one day it will take me to places I've never been before.
