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 Students
My photography students are creative, out of the box thinkers, and ready for new endeavors. Although we are a very low income school faced with many extra challenges, our school strives for meaningful learning experiences daily!
In photography, we want to help our middle school students be the best they can be and develop their creative talents.
These students love learning and visual art. They are learning about themselves and others as they take beautiful pictures. They are ready to take their photography skills to the next level!
My Project
Students will be able to use the new photography studio to learn basic to professional lighting set ups. This will include using a background stand with a fun sequin backdrop! The students will have access to a DSLR camera tethered to a projector so that they can create amazing studio images right before their eyes.
My students LOVE selfies!
I would love for them to be able to create a professional "selfie" portrait to take home for their wall!
This project includes all the tools that our students need to be successful in our photography studio. This project will provide a great DSLR camera, SD cards, a 50 mm lens, lighting set up, and a sequin backdrop. The students will be able to use the black and white picture mounts to take home to share with their family. We are excited to get started with studio work!
More than half of students from low‑income households
