The Brief is Mastering the manual setting. Manual settings are where photography finally becomes intentional instead of accidental. Once students understand them, they stop “hoping” for a good photo and start creating one. As a photographer, Rihanna has begun to feel comfortable behind the camera. The photo is meant to show a bit of tension, school and technology pulling in different directions, but there’s also a sense of harmony between the two. EarPods can make reading feel more immersive, whether it’s through music that helps you focus or an audiobook that brings the story to life. The book holds the ideas, and the EarPods carry them to you. When they work together, the whole reading experience becomes richer than either one could offer on its own.
