AH 331 History of Photography Spring 2021 Compendium

Meredith Heika Biography

Hello! My name is Meredith Heika, and I'm a sophomore Screenwriting student at Chapman University. I'm originally from Colleyville, Texas but currently reside in Anaheim, California. 

If I have an idea that involves a specific medium, I will do whatever I can to make my vision come to life, whether that be through sculpture, painting, or fabrication. In high school, my ideas began to involve photography, which was a medium I hadn't explored in-depth before. I taught myself how to create the images I wanted, but I never really learned the true ins and outs of photography.  I don't feel like I can call myself a photographer until I understand the history of the art form and how it began. To truly appreciate the medium I work with, I believe it is my obligation to learn about and appreciation all the steps that had to be taken to make it what it is. 

After graduation, I'd love to work as a screenwriter, but I'm also interested in wardrobe, makeup, and hair in the entertainment industry. I'm not sure exactly where I want to live or what I want to do, but I know what makes me happy, so I like to keep my options open.
