Celebrating 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
We are entering a new era where A.I. is everywhere, but we strongly believe that learning the basic principles of image creation is mandatory for our students to develop a good sense of visual thinking.
With your support, our students will gain hands-on training in various photography genres, including documentary, portrait, product, food, fashion, 3D, architectural, and artistic, using the equipment.
They will have the opportunity to learn the basic functions of a Digital SLR Camera (DSLR) including proper exposure control and light metering, Aperture and Shutter speed, White balance, RAW files, processing, and the use of ISO in controlling digital noise.
Also, they will have the opportunity to practice with different types of lighting, as well as the intensity of light, direction of light, and quality of light.
