Learning The Basics | Photography 101

Week 2 of mentorship has started and we dove right into photography. We talked about the 3 ways to control light through ISO, aperture and shutter. We also talked about, as photographers, how to approach our photoshoots by asking ourselves 3 questions:

1. What is the story I’m trying to tell?

2. Where is my best light?

3. How can I tell that story creatively?

Everyone got accustomed to learning their settings rather quickly. We are excited to dive in deeper over the next 2 weeks. We will be share more as we go on, so be sure to come back soon!

Photography Teacher...who me?

Since the beginning of Dec 2019, I’ve been teaching photography to a group of students at Proviso East. Our photo club averaged 3-7 students each time we met…which took place on Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s. We made huge progress from learning how to see light, to my students learning how to change their settings in manual, and then how to import and edit their photos in Lightroom. We had big goals of showcasing student work in the hallways, as well as putting on an end of year gallery.

While all programming is on hold with COVID-19, I remain hopeful that when we can meetup again, that we will be able to move forward with pursuing those big goals!

So friends….here’s a few Iphone pics I took while at Proviso East over the past few months.
