Resources
- Camera or phone
- A way to print photographs
- Photo displays fixtures (e.g. sticky tack, string)
Before you begin
- Decide whether you’ll use cameras or smartphones for this activity. Camera photos will need to be printed for display (unless they’re taken with a Polaroid camera). If this isn’t possible, smartphone cameras or homemade ‘pinhole cameras’ should be used. Smartphone cameras often have easy-to-use editing features, which are ideal for this activity, while photos can easily be printed or displayed digitally.
- Choose whether you would prefer to take 12 colour photographs in various styles or six black-and-white photos. If shooting in colour, use two of the following techniques: portrait, still life (or similar), land- or seascape, sport (or other action) and time-lapse. If shooting in black and white, explain how you did this and why you chose this effect.
Instructions
- Think about a theme that you would like to focus on for your photographs
- Shoot your photographs and collect all your snaps together
- Edit at least two images. Each edited photo should have a short explanation of why and how this has been done.
- Share your photos with friends and family
