During the first week of photography lessons at Happy House the children were excited by the prospect of capturing their own images; this was evident by the hundreds of photos that were taken!
With most never having used a camera before, I quickly covered the basics of photography before the children rushed around the school giving it a go.
Their favourite subject to photograph was one another, with everyone striking
their best pose in front of the camera. For their next lesson I encouraged the children to focus on the world around them, seeing what else within the school environment they could photograph.
They took to the challenge admirably, exploring the different textures, patterns and still life objects the school had to offer, although they couldn’t resist the odd photograph of their friend!
Sifting through the hundreds of photographs, I have been
really impressed by what I have seen and am excited to see what else the
children can produce.
