My Project

This year I created a photography club for our upper elementary students. Our students will have the opportunity to edit and design the 23-24 yearbook and work on their very own portfolio. Our students love to be creative and express their creativity through art, so I thought it would be a great opportunity for students to learn visual art through photography. With the help of a donated camera, and other tools, my goal is to teach technical aspects of photography, such as lighting, composition, and exposure.

Students will also have the opportunity to experiment with different photography styles and be able to create a portfolio of their best work, which can possibly gain exposure and open new doors for our students.

Furthermore, having a photography club with the right tools will help students stay motivated, improve their skills, and achieve success in their photography journey.
