Junior Andrew Jefferis is not actually a student as South Lakes, but comes down to visit every once in a while.

How did you get involved with South Lakes students?

I met Zack Deker at camp and came here to visit him. He introduced me to all his friends and I came to South Lakes to shadow him so I could see all the people I met. I then met more people which is why I keep coming to visit.

What are you doing at South Lakes?

I got a flight down to Dulles in Washington D.C. then took a cab into Reston, VA to stay with Haley Vaughn. I met her though Zach Deker. In relation to this trip, I came down because her church, McLean Bible, is hosting a winter camp, which is like a kids retreat.  Over two hundred teenagers are a part of this trip including me, and we will take a bus down to Goshen, VA once school is out.

What are you doing in regards to your photography?

I’m a photographer in Connecticut. Next week I will be having an interview with the president of FENDI for my photography and modeling. I’m photographing a fashion show in NYC on May 5 with a new upcoming designer whose collection will be revealed in the next three years on Fifth Avenue.

How did you get that opportunity?

I got it through my dad’s friend because he is the brother of the woman who’s in charge of the brand. I’ve been building my portfolio so when I go to photographers and designers I’m able to show them my work.
