Youth Photography: Portraits

All photographs were taken by youth on
Wednesday, February 17th 2010

These pictures were taken the 2nd time the girls took their still cameras home. It was the second shooting exercise about 2 and a half weeks into our workshop. Prior to this, the youth learned the basics of digital camera operation, camera care, and a bit about how to take a good photograph. I had the girls start out by playing with each of the cameras available for our program and really getting to know how each of them works, some of the specific controls each has, and of course the strengths and limitations of each device. Shooting portraits was their 2nd take home exercise. All of the girls had some great photos. It was so nice to see their homes and families, parts of their lives that mean so much.
