Madeline discovered the subject of her photograph, a display of flowers, after sitting in a New York City market with her friend last spring. “When I saw the flowers, I knew they would make a beautiful photograph,” she said. “I remember how the entire market smelled of these flowers, which is how the photo became titled, ‘The Cornerstore’s Perfume.’”

This photo was not for a class project; taking photos has been a hobby that Madeline has truly enjoyed for many years. She said she was so proud that out of more than 1900 applicants, her photograph was named a finalist. Her work was exhibited from February 10 through March 5, 2018 at the Drexel Photography Facility in Philadelphia.
