Photos & Words by Hanson C.
Today is the first day of the Grade 10 Experiential Program, my name is Hanson Chan, and I will be covering the "Photojournalism" cohort. In this program, we will be learning how to take high-quality pictures, how to edit them, and how to tell a story with them. We will learn how to take photos of different objects or events, depending on the group's decisions. Today, we met with Mr. Gardener to learn how to use a camera, and the different terminology and tricks we will need to learn, as well as going downtown to take pictures based on various themes. Afterwards, we all went back to school to analyze the pictures we have taken in 8 themes of photography: Form, Texture, Line, Depth, Simplified Background, Rule of Thirds, Symmetry and Natural Framing. Today, as a group, we have developed the basic photography skills, and we are all excited for the next Experiential day.
