Move-Ments Artist: Alana Hill.

Self professed "jack of all trades", Alana Hill naturally took to photography when she enrolled in a photojournalism class at University of Maryland, University College less than a year ago. Although her main task was to complete the class with an "A", Alana received so much more. She has fallen head over heels with photography and has since been shooting more than she could have ever imagined. She has had the opportunity to photograph a wide range of subjects, including, youth and adult portraiture, concerts, theatrical productions, and several dance performances. However, out of everything she has photographed, her favorite is working with people that she loves. "Most people don't consider themselves gorgeous, so it's really difficult for people to appreciate a picture of themselves. However, I find a rewarding challenge in capturing more than outer beauty. I try to capture emotion and sincerity in shots, in addition to the splendor that we all see when we look at them. Most of the times I'm successful!"
