Student Travels from England to Study Photojournalism
 
   Hannah Eden; Photojournalism, 2015

 

 

Hannah Eden of Sheffield, England always wanted to study photojournalism in Canada. Her mother was Canadian and they had visited Canada many times while Hannah was growing up. When it was time to choose where she would study, she booked a flight with her parents during the summer of 2012 and came to tour some Ontario campuses.

"The Loyalist Photojournalism program Coordinator, Frank O'Connor, met us at the College and took us through the department," said Hannah. "As I walked down the hallway, looking at the photographs taken by graduates, I felt like I was in the 'Hall of the Greats.' I recognized shots I'd seen in magazines and newspapers and realized the photojournalists who had taken these amazing pictures had studied at Loyalist. At that moment, I knew this was where I had to be!"

Hannah is now completing her first year and advocates strongly for the program. "I've learned so much in only a few months' time. Never before have I been so challenged -- it's exhilarating! I had taken some photography classes prior to coming to Canada, but the faculty here make me dig deeper. They encourage me to look not only around me, but to look within myself and really put my name on the photos I take." Read more.
