My name is Trennt Rhea. I am a senior photojournalism major at the University of North Texas with a minor in social science. I am currently a photographer with the North Texas Daily and Hatch Visuals at UNT. I got my start in photography in high school where I first learned how to operate a DSLR camera. After high school, I started to take photography seriously and took a photography class at my community college, Dallas College Brookhaven.
I fell in love with journalism while I was apart of the student newspaper, the Brookhaven Courier. I realized the importance of photojournalism and learned about the lesson of "The Decisive Moment" by Henri Cartier-Bresson. After Brookhaven, I enrolled at UNT where I have been apart of the NT Daily since the fall of 2024. Because of this, I want to enter into a career in photojournalism as a freelance photographer and eventually as a staff photographer.
My goals with photography is to create images that make an important moment live forever. I want my photos to feel authentic through the use of composition, lighting and subject matter.
