Student Photos: Abstract Photography

This week, students were introduced to abstract photography. This includes various forms of macro-photography, water photography, and light/long exposure photography. We did some experiments with water, vegetable oils, paints, candles, flashlights, and creativity. Here are some of the results they came out with.

Student Entry: Nature is Coming to an End - Faviola

Here what you see in these pictures, the back is like a black and white, desert like background. The background symbolizes that nature is coming to an end and there is not enough people to save the planet. The important symbol here in these pictures is the flowers. The flower symbolizes hope and a chance to save the earth. The question that comes in to my mind is, “What can we do to save nature? Is there a day where nature is coming to an end?” My advice to myself is try to save it with other people, try to save nature because it is important to all of us because without nature, we have nothing.

Student Photos: Collections

After students saw examples of collections from the modern photographers and how they had messages through sets of pictures, we went out and did the same thing. Students went around their school with the mission of taking 3-4 pictures of a common object, theme or with a common style, trying to tell a message or story with those pictures. Here are some of their works:

Recap: Photos That Tell Stories

We looked at and discussed a 10 photographs that had significant impact on the world. Here are a few of them:







Students also had the opportunity to roam through their school taking photographs of anything they wanted, as an initial dive into the world of photography. Here are some their pictures:
