Heather Evans Smith : The Heart and The Heavy
Heather Evans Smith is a fine art and conceptual portrait photographer from North Carolina. Her work focuses on capturing not only the everyday but whimsical scenes depicting the struggle and reality of women. Her work is often very surreal and cinematic. The cinematic appeal is what really draws me to her work.

Kerry Skarbakka: 2011 Excellence in Teaching Award
Kerry Skarbakka is a performance based photographer that uses his own physical prowess as he creates fascinating scenes of movement and action in his photographs. His photographs are extremely gripping and awe inspiring in a way. The actions he captures are very strange and inhuman in a way, while still being rooted in reality. The cinematic style and sense of awe or even confusion created by his photographs are very appealing to me.

Aaron Hobson: The Cinemascapist
Aaron Hobson is a photographer from Pittsburg that came from a difficult upbringing. Having dropped out of school in the 10th grade as well as getting mixed in with drugs from a young age he didn't have much. It wasn't until his 20s where he picked up a camera and started to use it as a way to escape his situation. The photographs he creates are extremely cinematic in the way he says they are influenced by movies, games, and television. He says the photos he takes are his memories mixed with his imagination and follows themes of fear, sex, abandonment, and curiosity. I find his photos very gripping and moving in their composition and feel.
