Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Help me open the world of lighting to my photo media classroom through the power of on-camera lighting. By contributing to our campaign you will empower my students to explore the art and science of photography, capturing moments with precision and creativity.

These flash heads will add hands-on experience in professional lighting techniques, elevating their skills and passion for photography.

Your generosity will not only enhance their educational experience but also nurture their passion for the visual arts. Please consider making a donation to equip our students with the tools they need to excel and inspire through photography. Thank you for being a vital part of our students' artistic journey.

Mr. E Swenson Arts & Technology High School Grades 9-12
