My Project

What I love most about my students is their vision—not just what they see through the lens, but how they see themselves and their world once they’re empowered to tell their own stories. Many of my students come into the classroom never having touched a real camera, but the moment they realize that they can control light, frame emotion, and capture truth—that’s when learning becomes transformation.

These resources are essential to helping that happen.

The Canon T7 camera is more than equipment—it’s access. It puts professional tools in students’ hands and levels the playing field for creative expression.

SD cards give them independence to shoot, store, and revisit their work without barriers or delays. Every click becomes a learning moment they can reflect on and grow from.

Ink and photo paper allow students to see their digital work come to life—tangible proof that their perspective matters. Printed photos become conversation starters, critique tools, and confidence builders.

Other photography equipment (like tripods, lights, or reflectors) teaches technical skill and introduces the industry-standard practices students will encounter in real-world settings.

Together, these materials turn my classroom into a studio, a gallery, and a lab for creativity. They help students move from “just taking pictures” to becoming visual storytellers who see their communities—and themselves—with new clarity and purpose.
