This year, my topic for my photo essay will be Hanukkah. To find inspiration, I looked up what other photographers have done with this subject in years past. In 2014, Sharon Altshul wrote a photo essay on Hanukkah. She uses her pictures to explain how we celebrate the holiday. Some of these picture include menorahs, Jewish sayings on the holiday (that relates to the game of dreidel–it’s what the letters on the dreidel stand for), and suffganiot (donuts, basically). Maybe I will do something similar to her photo essay with my own six pictures by taking pictures of things Hanukkah-related and how my own family celebrates the holiday.
