The subject for my essay is A day in the life of a gymnast. I took these photos at Strive Gymnastics. I selected this topic because gymnastics has been a part of my life since i was 6 years old. Also, since I am going to college soon I will need to leave my friends and the only sport I've been doing for 12 years, so I wanted to document the different things important to me from gymnastics. I trying to portray a day in the life of a gymnast. They captured the narrative because I started with the beginning of Strive. With the lockers and the hand prints, which we first made while help building Strive. Then a whole practice and finally the people I've met through gymnastics and who have become my best friends. Which all in all, is a day in the life of me, the gymnast. Most of my pictures view points are from straight on or a little above the ground. Most of the lighting is very light; you can see some shadows showing ow bright it is at Strive. I didn't use any filters besides one instagram filter. I unified them because they all entail the same subject.
