Photography 1

Help me give my students an opportunity to learn photography with quality equipment. The equipment requested would take this photography class to the next level.

My Project

In our course we are using only cell phones for our cameras. We do not have digital cameras yet to use in this course. I am modifying the course where they can use they cell phone camera, which are becoming more powerful by the day, to replicate the photography that is captured by a digital camera. Lighting is a very important piece, better yet the most important piece of photography, it would be amazing to provide some of the equipment for them to use.

I attempted last semester to teach lighting to the students but fell short of fully grasping their attention due to them not physically having the lights to work with.

The students are hands-on learners and will benefit from being able to manually adjust the light settings to do their photography work. The cell phone photography will work amazingly with the continuous lights that I am requesting.
