Senior photography minors started a week-long showcase of their portfolios at the art gallery of Derthick Hall. The exhibition slated to run April 7-12 features both film and digital photography from Janae Rangel, Samantha Steadman and Bethany Sodergren.

“It’s also about making sure it’s portrayed to other people because a color is more than just color, it is also the feeling of everything that’s wrapped around you,” said Rangel.

Rangel’s exhibition is titled “Edges and Ledges” and features landscape photos of places like the Grand Canyon.

Fellow exhibitor Samantha Steadman talked about the challenges in putting the exhibit together. Her collection is themed “Sublime.”

Bethany Sodergren collection is titled, “Finding the Beauty in Zimbabwe.” She spoke about what she wants people to take from her work.

Sunday’s showcase had a mixture of  faculty, students, family members and people from the community.The works will be on display until April 12.
