Mason Hainey
Business Administration, Class of 2020
My dad is a sports photographer back home. I hated him taking pictures of me when I was younger. He would always have his camera around and take pictures of me. My senior year of high school, I finally started to appreciate it. I saw all the pictures and really liked what he did with everything that year. So this year, he got a new camera and I asked for his old one. I thought it would be kind of cool. I started taking pictures and and it all grew on me little by little.
I love adventuring and being outdoors. I went on a trip with my friend who also does photography, Brennan Izzo, to North Captiva Island. I knew we were supposed to do some beach exploring so I decided to take my camera. That’s kind of when I fell in love with it.
I like anything with an adventure. You can label it as landscape photography, but it’s anything where I have to walk through this or climb up this to get to that. My photography allows me to be adventurous. It’s not something I want to make a living out of but maybe make a little money on the side with a hobby I love. It’s something fun to do and a way to document everything when I travel.
Why º£Íâ³Ô¹Ï?
I was interested in º£Íâ³Ô¹Ï because of the football program. When I noticed they had the PlusOneAdvantage Free MBA program, I was like, ‘I have to come here.’
Originally from Elkhart, Indiana, Mason is an offensive lineman on the º£Íâ³Ô¹Ï football team. Majoring in Business Administration, he hopes to explore the marketing side of business after graduation.
