Brynlei Davis, Photographer
Story by Stephanie Neang
Junior Brynlei Davis is a Photographer for MHS Student Media. This is her first year photographing for MHS Student Media. Joining the Media and Publications as a new outgoing and friendly face, Davis has always had a passion for photography, taking Photography for both her freshman and sophomore year, and now a teacher assistant for the resident teacher, Mr. Allman.
“I am excited, and I think it’s a really good opportunity,” Davis said.
She wishes to show and bolden her extensive knowledge of photography with the new horizons of journalism, and publications.
“I don’t think [journalistic photography] is different in the sense of taking pictures,” Davis said, “I think it’s a good learning experience especially if I can be with other people who also do photography, because I can learn from them,” Davis said.
When she’s not out photographing, she could be found with her friends, or at home strumming her guitar, and playing with her bunnies Charlie and Mable.
