Becca Sponga is a junior, currently enrolled in the IB Visual Arts class, with a concentration in photography. Sponga’s work is very technical, focusing mainly on texture and detail. Producing images of water, family, and nature, Sponga creates a theme of adventure running through her work that gives the viewer both a nostalgic remembrance of childhood and the feelings of curiosity that come with it. She has perfected her printing process to include a full range of tones through her photographs as well as a comfortable and pleasing contrast between both the light and dark tones and the positive and negative spaces throughout her shots. This attention to detail shows Sponga’s advanced composition skills and her sharp eye for an interesting scene. “I love film photography because I feel like my photos come out more artistic. I get the photo to look the way I want because through photography I am able to show people the world the way I see it. Plus I shoot better with film and the darkroom is my home away from home,” said Sponga.
Although Sponga is only a junior, she has set her sights on art school saying, “I want to either major or minor in photography. I don’t have any specific school in mind, but preferably I would like to go somewhere in North Carolina.”
Sponga shows promise as both a photography student and a photographer on her own. She exemplifies a clear sense of direction and a common theme throughout her work, which will take her far in the field of professional photography.
