Photography Class | Friendly House Community Center, Portland, Or.

__________

I have been teaching photography classes to 4th and 5th graders at Friendly House Community Center in Portland, Or. I really wanted my students to walk away from this class knowing about how a camera works, how to compose a shot, and how to correctly expose a photograph.

The classes run 6-8 weeks long and at the end we have a big presentation where their photos are displayed. This year I decided to put together a slideshow to display their work and interview the kids about the class.

Above are some of the portraits they took of each other and below is the little slideshow/movie of my students. I filmed the interviews with my Canon 5d MarkII and edited the film in Final Cut Pro.

Last night was the big photography presentation for my students. For the past 8 weeks I have been teaching a photography class during an after school program for elementary students at Friendly House Community Center.

They learned everything about how a camera works. From aperture, shutter speed and film speed to lighting, depth of field, and composition, these chaps learned it all! We also learned about different types of cameras and lenses and studied photographers.

Each week we studied different types of photography ranging from portraits and landscapes to macro and abstracts. Most of the time was spent in the field, seizing moments and capturing images.

It was such an awesome experience for me to teach these kids and watch them creatively grow. I am super proud of them.

One of my students came up to me and told me that Sunday is his birthday and he says "you wanna know what I am gonna ask for?!" He doesn't even wait for my response cause he is so excited. "A camera!" He yells out.

You can see their work by viewing the slideshow below.
