About Me

Londen Wheeler

My name is Londen Wheeler and I am a photographer from Nelson County, Virginia. I am a sophomore at Eastern Mennonite University and is currently studying Digital Media and Communications. I enjoy sharing my life through a camera lens. I am very passionate about event and sports photography but in this site, I will showcase a little bit of everything! This past semester, I had the opportunity to intern with the Capital Area Food Bank in Wasington, DC. There, I was given many great assignments that ranged from photographing CEO’s, News-anchors, congressmen, and President Barack Obama. My goal is to work for the Washington Post or Associated Press as a photographer and travel around the world.

 


How I Got Started

Londen Wheeler

When I was young, my parents bought a little Sony point-and-shoot camera. I used to always take that camera and shoot photos and even videos. When I was a freshman in high school, my grandparents bought a Nikon D5000 for themselves. They bought the camera to take pictures of my little sister and I at our sporting events. Of course, when it was time to take photos of my sister's softball games, they called me to do it. From then on, I enjoyed taking pictures and thought it was a nice hobby to partake in. Now that I'm a sophomore in college, I plan on becoming a better photographer and hopefully pursuing a great career. My passion is taking sports event photography because I enjoy capturing images as they are happening. My goal is to one day, have my pictures published in the Washington Post and hopefully move to Washington, DC to work for them as a photojournalist.
