High School Product Photography

Help me give my students a variety of backdrops for their product photography unit. We haven't had a chance to try these out, so I'm hoping the Backdrop Boards do the trick!

My Project

The mirrors, fake ice, and backdrops that I am requesting will provide my students with content to photograph. The goals for this project are for students to create a specific mood / vibe with their product photography and gain real-world experience doing something that could help them earn a living after high school. I will be reaching out to local artisans to see if they will donate products for my students to photograph. The backdrops and lighting you provide will help my students take charge of their learning because they will be able to arrange scenes for commercial product photography.

This project will allow my students to not just "make due with what we have", but create and explore using a variety of options to fuel their creativity.

My students have the drive to take great photographs. They just need the atmosphere, props, and lighting to make their visions a reality.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
