Ryan Kessler was our guide for our Photography class excursion. He shared his portfolio with us of his past months worth of photos with other clients just like us. Once we got to our first of several photos stops, Ryan assisted us with adjustments to our iPhones camera settings. From there we started learning multiple aspects about what and how perspectives can change what you see and what you can show others through your lens!
