Every semester, photojournalist college students have a category on meals images.
Students collectively contribute varied meals gadgets and drinks the day of the shoot organized by professor Nguyet Thomas.
This semester, college students introduced meals gadgets referring to a Thanksgiving table-spread Wednesday, Nov. 5, within the Humanities Building.
Thomas and educational assistant Gerard Burkhart confirmed college students the best way to arrange studio lights, reflectors, mild diffusers, props and meals.

For the task, college students are required to get inventive, messy and work collectively hands-on in crafting images that inform a narrative.
With a bigger class this fall semester, college students took turns working the tools, giving them the chance to study with one another, collaborate on concepts and study from errors.
Best of all, college students eat their creations after the shoot is finished.
Students curious about meals images can register for primary photojournalism, Journalism 6, in spring 2026. The class meets in particular person Mondays and Wednesdays.
