Every four years, the South Carolina presidential primaries bring together politicians, business owners, working class voters and college students, to name a few. Citizens embrace the attention by packing living rooms, gymnasiums and city parks to listen to candidates’ stump speeches.

I am a 29-year-old senior from Taylors, S.C., focusing on a career path in photojournalism. Redefining how stories are told through imagery has inspired me to take every moment captive. My peers and I compared our experience covering the primaries to a scavenger hunt as we searched to get a head start on candidates. However, those calls did allow me to get a selfie with Joe Biden and some close shots of Elizabeth Warren working the crowd.
