The chance to be Maiden's on-board photographer and reporter is a major opportunity for 18-year-old Aren Hemmings, who describes photography as her 'side hustle.'
Saint John photographer Aren Hemmings, 18.Eighteen-year-old Aren Hemmings planned to spend the summer in the old north end of Saint John, studying photography and media marketing at the ONE Future program at the Nick Nicolle Community Centre.Hemmings was unexpectedly invited to work for two weeks on Maiden, a 58-foot ocean racing yacht. The vessel is traveling the world promoting girls' education and motivating women to enter careers in STEAM: science, technology, engineering, art, and math.
"There's navigation, which is maths," Edwards said. "Science has a lot to do with how you put sails up, how the wind angles work, all of those other things. Through sailing, we can demonstrate in a fun way, in an out-of-the-classroom kind of way, how all of these still skills can be used.
"When I was 16, I took the adult Learn to Sail program at the Royal Kennebeccasis Yacht Club with Gary Sullivan," Aren said. "We got a small daysailer for me and my sister's birthday two summers ago, which was amazing. So that was perfect timing." Within three weeks of the first email, Hemmings was on a 5 a.m. flight to the U.S. She immediately started documenting the two-week leg of the journey, which included stops in Brooklyn, Rye, and Long Island.
"I was like, 'Oh, no, my camera!'" she said. Fortunately, "it was all OK — just a little bit strewn about."
