My Project

We are public charter school that accepts students, grades 6-12, through an open enrollment process. Students are not charged tuition. Our students come from all demographics with diverse interests. These incredible students are academically driven, creatively inspired and motivated to overcome challenges regarding their education choices. Our curriculum is college preparatory focused which encourages the development of lifelong learners and prepares them to continued their education even after high school. These materials will be used to expand their storytelling, taking photos and recording stories. I want to provide them a place to share what they’ve been through and also grow into whatever they’d like.

We want to build a working Photography Studio that will allow my students to work closer to their future professional careers.

The passion and dedication my students have for the arts makes them stand out!

In a time where many institutions are ending photography programs and taking out darkrooms, our school sees the importance and the potential of photography as a venue for expression for students. I believe it’s not just a skill but an avenue of learning history as well as making it!

In Darkroom101 students learn how to use manual analog cameras and basic skills in the darkroom. Advanced Darkroom allows them to take technical skills learned in Photo I and build a portfolio that reflects their voice and interests. Digital Media introduces students to professional field of photography. They will learning lighting, workflow and editing techniqes including Photoshop and Final Cut Pro.
