About Josalyn...

Growing up, I had big ideas for what I wanted to do with my life. My first idea was a teacher, then that changed to a hairstylist, accountant, and finally a photographer. The reason I finally decided on this path is because I loved pictures. I liked how you could take a simple picture and make it look so beautiful. A technique I heard about to make a picture more beautiful is to use Photoshop and the tools they provide. I had no idea what that was or how to use it, so I started looking for degrees that had courses in photography and in Photoshop. I chose Digital Media Production at Southeast Tech because I loved how it was a two-year program with credits for both photography and animation. I was interested in the animation classes because I found a love for animated movies and wanted to learn how they were made.

I want to use the skills I have developed to tell stories through the photos and videos that I create. My storytelling process starts with developing creative ideas, then utilizing software like the Adobe Creative Suite and Maya to make those visions come to life.

My current work primarily consists of making videos. Improving my video production skills is my primary focus, while being able to work more with photography and videography. While I’m pursuing my goal, I want to work in advertising using the skills that I have developed through STC to help make commercials that promote products.
