6.2 Olly Harrop 29/09/10
Olly Harop is a professional photographer who came in and taught us the basics of photography. H also taught us how to operate a camera properly and take photographs. Our first activity was to review his portfolio on his offsite work and documenting festival experience. We discussed about his job and found that there are many ways to photograph and many different angles.
We then were split into groups of three and each group was given digital cameras to experiment with. We went around the school and took portraits of different things. In our group, each person had different roles which changed around so we all understood them. One person was the photographer, model and the location director who decided the best position to take the photograph considering the lighting and background etc.
At the end of the lesson, we all exhibited our photographs and discussed with each other which one was successful and why and which ones were not and how to improve. This workshop was helpful and useful because it helped us develop our camera/photography skills so that we could take photographs of the festival to best effect.
