Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

There really are no limits to how much my students will benefit from these smart phone photography products. My students will utilize the Photo Studio Shooting Tent and Smart Photo 360 Turntable to learn about entrepreneurship, product photography, and the role it plays in today’s digital media platforms.

The need for new and exciting digital media technology and accessories for students to explore on a daily basis is a crucial necessity for every photography teacher and student, to achieve 21st-century learning.

My students simply do not have access to the technology they should without these essential photography accessories in the classroom. These phone photography resources will make learning more academically challenging, engaging, and most importantly fun.

We need your help to make this dream come true!
