Iyanla Vazant, author of multiple New York Times Best Selling books, speaks at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Campus Commemoration in the McKimmon Center Jan. 14. Vazant encouraged attendees to “take the first step,” saying that “You cannot continue to live your own dysfunctional history over and over, hypnotizing yourself into inactivity.”

Instead of uploading a safe picture of the Vanzant behind the podium, Chris captured a moment that portrayed the passion of the speaker. This gives us a much better idea of Vanzant’s personality and is visually interesting. Chris placed Vanzant on the right third and used a relatively shallow depth of field that allows us to focus on Vanzant, but see the audience as well. Good work!
