Story of Emma

This is Emma Williams. She’s a shy girl with an amazing story. A story of a dream and a wish. A story of obstacles and overcoming them. A story that could become a reality.


The first thing that strikes you about Emma is her quietness.However, after you meet and talk to her, Emma’s interest in photography and expertise in the area is a pleasant surprise. Her natural comfort with a camera is unique as well as her willingness to lead. The calm and inviting voice she possesses shows off her friendly attitude to those that wish to embrace it. Emma’s belief in the true beauty in life and importance of pioneering are admirable traits.


This is a story about a dream and the work and dedication to reach it. About a machine and its ability to capture beauty and replay for years to come. About a push of a button and the beginning of a career. About an aspiring photographer and the goals she sets. About nature and one girl’s love for it. And about an objective and the long, difficult journey of put-downs and negative support to bypass obstacles and achieve it.


Who is Emma Williams? If one was to ask this question to someone who had just met her, they might say, “Oh somebody,”. But to her friends and family, she is a girl with a creative mind and a passion to capture beauty through a camera. "Ever since I started taking pictures, I've seen the world through a whole new perspective," said Williams. She hosts dirty blonde hair and a positive attitude towards life. Her quiet lifestyle shows her constant thinking and insightful approach towards life.


It is easy to write off Emma as a regular schoolgirl, but then again, the easy way leaves many stones unturned. Emma’s first experience with a camera on vacation got her hooked on photography after seeing how beautiful nature was and how cool it was to preserve it via photograph instead of ignoring it. She enjoys photographing bright and lively colors, to create a light mood to a photograph.


Of course what makes Emma interesting is her avid interest in photojournalism while being a leader for the school paper as editor. Her enjoyment of both fields shows an interest in all of journalism and her ability to effectively carry out both positions, and her inspiration by web journalist pioneer Arianna Huffington shows her belief in strong journalists and what they practice.
