Megan- Bio

Megan Jensen is studying Photography and Digital Arts at Moore College of Art and Design, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Though she hasn't received the proper training in photography until college, she has always had a passion for it as a child. Taking snapshots of her hometown, friends and family, she was able to record her life in a small coal industrious town.

In High School Megan would use photographs for a reference to paint from. She studied fine arts and after school she painted scenes for the drama department. Working hard in the art department paid off. She was accepted to Governor’s School for the Arts in the summer of 2004. She has also received many honors and awards during this time such as the Southwestern Pennsylvania Scholastic Award for Writing and Art.

In 2006, after several college tours she noticed photography in the art departments. Though photography wasn’t offered in her high school, she was excited to be apart of the photography art world. She chose to attend Moore College of Art and Design due to the new photography major arriving. She also wanted to experience a new city, so Philadelphia seemed promising in the art community. At Moore College of Art and Design, she has learned both traditional and digital photography. Here she takes photos of industrious landscapes, and staged scenes.
