doing it for the kids

This week I met some pretty inspiring students. They were eager to learn & up for a challenge. 

I met these students at Newhaven College's Arts Fest! It's a week long festival where the year 9 students get to explore & learn about different arts. From film making, to body art, African drumming and dancing, to drama, painting & a few others, including photography - and that's where I come in. 

I was invited to teach the students about photography - and to those students who weren't overly interested in photography, well it my aim to get them interested!

I began each class with a short story about how I began my photography career. I showed a few slideshows & then shared my knowledge on photography. It was inspiring to see the students who took on the information and really pushed themselves to be creative. I was blown away with what they came back with.

I really enjoyed sharing my knowledge & stories with these students. I hope I've inspired at least one person along the way and hopefully they may take the same path I have & become a photographer - cos there's no better job in the world : )

Here are just a few highlights from the week. As you can see, the students really did produce some real gems.
