Students will be able to use the new photography studio to learn basic to professional lighting set ups. This will include using a background stand with a fun sequin backdrop! The students will have access to a DSLR camera tethered to a projector so that they can create amazing studio images right before their eyes. My students LOVE selfies! I would love for them to be able to create a professional "selfie" portrait to take home for their wall! This project includes all the tools that our students need to be successful in our photography studio. This project will provide a great DSLR camera, SD cards, a 50 mm lens, lighting set up, and a sequin backdrop. The students will be able to use the black and white picture mounts to take home to share with their family. We are excited to get started with studio work!
