PHOTOGRAPHY

Mrs. Peratt- Her Photography Students and their photo entries.

Bronze – Taylor Valdes

“These are the photos I had taken down at the regional competition. Our prompt was to take Pictures of the college, in which I found was very easy, considering it was such a broad topic. I wanted to shoot abstract things while also being simple about it. I did not edit these photos very much.” – Taylor Valdes

Other Participants:

Blanca Mandujano

“These photos were taken on the RCC campus for this year’s SkillsUSA regional Photography competition. Our prompt was to take pictures of the campus and of the school. I wanted to get shots of the campus while still paying attention to the little details because sometimes the small things turn out to be the big things. I did edit the pictures a small amount, but they were only minor details like blurring the background and cropping the image a bit.” -Blanca Mandujano

Monet Marquez

“This year was my first year competing in SkillsUSA. For the regional competition, our assignment was to photos of the school. I tried to really capture the little things about the school, and events that were going on that day and show what made the school beautiful. I took two pictures at a swim meet at the school’s aquatics facility and the other around the actual campus. It was really a pleasure to shoot this beautiful campus.” -Monet Marquez

ESTHETICS

Gold – Jelly Contreras & Madison Denkers

“This is Madison Dankers, she was my model for SkillsUSA in the Esthetics portion. The first picture is before I started any makeup or facials on her. The Second picture is a her wearing a facial mask that has peppermint in it to tighten the skin and aduki beans to exfoliate the skin. For my fantasy portion, I decided to portray the beautifulness of the beach. Mermaids represent beauty and are thought to be majestic. Because my theme was “Face of your State ” I decided to have Maddie wearing a crown that had different emblems on it that represent California but The Golden Gate Bridge being the one that caught your attention the fastest. I did this because I wanted the judges to look down and see that she was the water under the bridge and also see that California was a state that had many  different kinds of beauty”.- Jelly Contreras

Final Product: Fantasy Makeup.

Related Technical Math

George Lasko- Gold

“Related Technical Math sounds like a burden, and it was. The worst part was having to wake up at four in the morning in order to go take a two-hour math test. Except it was awesome being able to prove that I am good at math.” -George Lasko (Guest CAMPer)
