Alyss Stewart- YCI Camp.

YCI Camp.

When faced with the task of writing and producing a full on photojournalism project I was a little baffled by how boring I perceived my life to be. I thought so hard about what I wanted to portray and very nearly couldn't come up with anything. I was then given the opportunity to attend a YCI camp [Youth Combating Intolerance/ Youth for Change and Inclusion] where I finally found something I wanted to bottle and mass produce: unconditional acceptance and love within a mass community. I wanted to take pictures that showed the excitement, community, energy, happiness and all around joy of the camp and the people who attended. These are the results I came up with.
