“Beach Breeze,” a photograph by Flagler Palm Coast High School student Briana Aguiar, 16, won Best of Show in the 2021 High School Student Show presented by the Flagler County Art League.
For her art class during her junior year at Flagler-Palm Coast High School, photographer Briana Aguiar decided to concentrate on portraits.
Never mind that the 16-year-old Bunnell resident, who began to seriously pursue photography only during her freshman year, had won first place in the architecture category of the Photographic Society of America’s 2020 Youth Show – an international competition.
Never mind that pandemic-enforced social distancing made photographing people more challenging than capturing a unicorn.
