My name is Jack Cavicchi, and I am a sophomore Sports Communication and Media student here at SHU. Over the past 1.5 years, I have taught myself and fallen in love with photography. I started with shooting athletics, specifically hockey, as a way to stay in touch with a sport that I no longer played competitively. During the spring 2024 semester of school, I took Professor Falco’s CM-223 class: Digital Photography. Here, I started to expand and gain experience in photojournalism. At first I did not enjoy the assignments for the class, because I knew I wanted to take photos of sports, but as I learned to appreciate different types of photography, I created some of my best work and grew in technique and style.
In the beginning of my Fall 2024 semester, I applied to work as a Photography Intern for the Sacred Heart University Marketing Department. Dan Passapera, the Photography Coordinator at SHU, took me on as an intern and has provided me with invaluable guidance and experience to help me grow as a photographer, but also an intern in a professional setting. This past semester I was granted access to shoot multiple ceremonies and events, the CT Ice tournament, and most recently the Spring Concert featuring A Boogie Wit da Hoodie.
