Title of entry: Time Out Wacipi Powwow
About this entry: The annual Time Out Wacipi Powwow, hosted at the University of North Dakota each spring, is as a vibrant cultural celebration. Our photography team captures photos at this event to use in marketing pieces, such as posters, websites, and digital displays.
Capturing this event each year carries challenges for our photographers. The powwow venue poses technical hurdles, notably the issue of inadequate lighting. This year, our photographers used photographic techniques like long shutter speed and strobe lights to emphasize movement and light, seeking to convey the vibrant energy and spirit that defines the powwow. The collection of photographs from the powwow was featured on our news website, UND Today.
