Hannah Altman is a photographer from Pittsburg. Although she is still a developing artist, she has gained much praise for her photo series "Everything is nice." In this photo series, Altman aims to give light to every day struggles of women by emphasizing those struggles with glitter. The glitter represents a woman's need to feel pretty during any given situation because of the expectations set for her by society. I enjoyed this series because it is a refreshing take on representing an issue that so many people have done before, but by still adding her own creativity to the issue. It is clear not only from this series but other photographs she has made that both color and light apply heavily during her creative process. She seems to value a deep depth of field as well by the way she captures a scene in its entirety which leads me to believe she may also use a tripod to allow her to acheive the depth of field she desires in otherwise compromising light situations.
