Golden Hour on Lower Summit Lake, Alaska

April 21, 2021 ASAA


2nd Place – Photography

Title of Art Piece: Golden Hour on Lower Summit Lake, Alaska
Category: Photography – 2021
Student/Artist’s Name: Jake White
School: West Anchorage High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement: This photo captures the golden hour over Lower Summit Lake, Alaska. I took this photo with my drone and edited the colors in Lightroom to pronounce the warmer tones in the photo. My initial goal for this endeavor was to get more comfortable with flying my drone, but I saw the skiers trekking across the lake and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. I’m particularly proud of this photo because I used a medium I am not used to to capture it. For a few years now I’ve been taking photos of all sorts of things with my DSLR, ranging from people, to cars, to landscapes, to astrophotography, and everything in between.

Beauty Behind Economy

April 19, 2021 ASAA


Honorable Mention – Photography

Title of Art Piece: Beauty Behind Economy
Category: Photography – 2021
Student/Artist’s Name: Emma Lakin
School: Nikiski High School
Grade: 12th
Artist Statement: This photo was a very challenging photo to take because of the different color values, as well as the three different subjects. It was difficult to make sure you could really see the textures and shadows in the mountains with the clouds in front of everything. I was waiting for the boat to move into the perfect position for the photo making sure it wasn’t too far away from the other subjects. I think I really captured the different ways of Alaska’s economy with the platform rig in the back, then to the dock and ship. I learned a lot throughout the years and I am extremely happy to be able to submit the last photos for my senior year into the State Art competition.

The Holiday Season

April 9, 2021 ASAA

Title of Art Piece: The Holiday Season
Category: Photography – 2021
Student/Artist’s Name: Ezra West
School: West Valley High School
Grade: 11th
Artist Statement: I took this photo because I was really enchanted by the sparkly red color of the Christmas ornaments on a tree next to my family’s driveway. I thought it would be cool to take a close up of one of these ornaments, with most everything in the background being blurry, except for maybe a leaf or tree branch to add a little more sensation to my holiday photo. The dark orange color of the leaf reminded me of holiday foods like turkey, pumpkin pie, etc. Looking at it, I can remember what the kitchen and dining room smell like on holidays.
