Student Leaders On-duty vs. Off-duty

This project is designed to show how student leaders work hard in a professional setting but also work hard when they’re off-duty. This portrait series showcases these leaders in settings of their choice, but posed by the photographer to allow the audience to get a broad understanding of the specific situtation. Some moments were best captured candidly and the captions indicate as such. Each photo is captioned with the student’s leadership position and the landscape they were photographed in.
