A Chanute high school student and Chanute Tribune stringer was recognized for his photography skills at the recent Kansas Scholastic Press Association’s Portfolio of the year contest. Sophomore Brayden Baker was awarded Class 3A/4A Photojournalist of the Year.
“Brayden is using light really well throughout this portfolio. It helps his images tell that story as well as provide something visual for the viewer to be dazzled by or to stop and wonder more about,” Said a KSPA judge of Baker’s work. “There’s also a nice variety of moments here. Big moments on the stage and with the band players, but really quiet, fleeting moments in the first two photos that are intimate, but tell a story.”
