For senior Ellis Mukes, joining AV didn’t just mean taking photos, it meant fulfilling his passion of shooting on the field.
Mukes joined AV his sophomore year of high school, but this was only the beginning.
“I fell in love with photography at a young age editing my own stuff and shooting with cameras,” he said.
When Mukes joined AV, he never would have imagined what he would accomplish this school year working alongside Coach Deandre Smith.
“Coach Smith teaches me hard work and determination for wanting me to go forward,” said Mukes.
At the football games, Mukes can be spotted walking along the sidelines taking photos to support the Bulldogs.
“I just feel free being able to get whatever I can to fulfill my passion,” he said.
Mukes will be recognized along with the other seniors for senior night for his hard work and dedication to the AV program on Oct. 31.
