My Project

This will be the second semester we have offered photography as a class at our high school. We would love to acquire equipment for students to learn how to take portrait photography.

The photography studio lighting kit and photography paper would give our students the equipment needed for a hands on learning experience.

Once students successfully take portrait photography, they will be able to print out a copy. This will give them a photo of themselves from their time in high school.

Having this equipment will allow student to create their own photos. Students will gaining skills that are marketable and that could turn into a business or skill they could offer to a future employer.
