Student photo exhibit opens at Collin College

by | May 28, 2026 | Area News, Education, Latest

The Art Gallery at Collin College will host “Between the Frames: Student Photography Portfolio Exhibition,” an annual student photography showcase, beginning Tuesday, June 10, at the Plano Campus.

A closing reception is planned from 5-7 p.m. Wednesday, June 10, in the gallery. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.

The featured artists are students from the Spring 2026 Photography Portfolio class taught by Collin College Professor Lisa Means. The advanced studio course requires students to create a cohesive series of works while preparing for careers in commercial photography.

In addition to coursework and instructional guidance, students completed portfolio reviews with professional advisers from the Dallas-area photography industry, including creative directors, art directors, publishing editors, photographers and designers. Students also conducted mock client interviews and presented their work to potential clients.

Means assisted students in creating a personal website for their work, advised them on effective use of social media and collaborated with the Art Gallery at Collin College to curate and install the final exhibition.

Featured student artists include Josh Corley, Katherine Coronado, Lisa Dorman, Bernadette Dorzier, Macy Lucero, Brendan Murphy, Lydia Nitz, Joseline Ochoa Mazariegos, Yuridia Pedroza, Ayden Perez, Zoe Simons, Catherine Stewart, Ann Tigler, Vo Tran and Cole Webb.

The gallery is located at the Collin College Plano Campus, Room A175, 2800 E. Spring Creek Parkway. More information is available at the college’s website.
