About Me
My name is Ella Bartholf and I am a junior this year at Blue Valley West High School. I have found photography my hobby for quite some time now. I took Photography 1 in hopes that I learn more about film photography and composition, which proved as a great learning experience and gave me the opportunity to experiment with different media. I have continued to experiment with photography with my digital camera since, but now I am back taking Photography 2. I love the anticipation that comes with developing film and all the amazing processes that can be done with film versus editing my images digitally. I have grasped a passion for motion along with nature pictures, which I feel is further explored in my Photography 2 portfolio. I capture intimate moments and things that matter to me most in this universe, so I hope that through this website you're able to get to know me more. Enjoy! :)​

P.S. I took the picture above right outside of the Grand Tetons National Park, at Jenny Lake, with my Nikon D3400.
