Stacey Ransom is a digital artist/set designer and Jason Mitchell who is a director/photographer. They combine cinematic lighting with distinctive scenery and digital artistry to create what cannot exist.

Do you usually have your cell phone out and visible? Yes. Would you rate learning something new as a complex task or an easy task? Complex task.  What happens to performance on complex tasks when a cell phone is visible? They suffered.  How does having a cell phone out remind people of a “broader social community?” "With the presence of the phone, you're wondering what those people are doing."  Does the presence of a cell phone change the performance of easy tasks? It still causes them to suffers. What did the presence of a cell phone do to the quality of social interaction in the 2012 study? Having the phone out stifled "interpersonal closeness and trust" and kept study participants from  empathy  for one another. Does the use of black and white as opposed to color add or detract from the message? Why or why not? Support your answer. It adds to the message because I was trying to imagine the photo-story with color and it wouldn't

What emotions do your most easily connect with? Sad/anxious Why is the technical part of photography important? Because you need to know your camera in order to be at the best of your abilities.

What do you most want to learn about photography right now? I want to learn more about using different techniques while shooting. What is your passion that is NOT photographic? Well my major passion is film. How can you tie your “other passion” and photography together? They already are pretty much tied together and right now I'm doing that by being in AP Art.

What was the shoot? Reflections A brief analysis of the technical skills you used and what went right and what needs improvement. It was hard sometimes to get the right angle because you might not want something in the reflection.  It was also hard to find reflective items.

Well, my favorite picture is from the Childish Gambino concert and he is my favorite person in the whole world so that definitely shows.  A brief analysis of the message and what you hoped to communicate, how successful you were at communicating it, and how are the images different from being a snapshot.
