My Project

I am continually amazed by the creativity and passion my photography students bring to their work. They are eager to learn and grow as artists, but they often face challenges when it comes to achieving professional-level lighting. A ring light will make a huge difference in their ability to enhance their photography skills by providing even, soft lighting that improves their portraits, product shots, and other creative projects.

The goal of this project is to provide my students with the tools they need to master the art of lighting, an essential skill for any photographer.

With this ring light, they will be able to experiment with lighting techniques and create high-quality images that showcase their unique talents.

What makes my students special is their determination and resourcefulness. Despite limited access to professional equipment, they constantly find ways to push their creativity to new heights. This ring light will open up new possibilities for them and help them build a stronger foundation for their photography careers.
