Photography - Lesson One

Today we had a professional photographer come in to our school to teach us important skills that we needed to adopt in order to make our pictures unique and interesting. We looked through couple of pictures that were taken by famous photographers, such as Diane Arbus. Her pictures were usually black and white which could represent memories of the past and because it was in black and white it made it look unusual and stand out from together pictures and made it look interesting. We then took our own digital camera's and took pictures of different things; I made my pictures interesting by taking pictures of unusual objects at different angles. I found this experience very exciting as I enjoyed taking pictures of different things and also I learnt how to analyse pictures and learn skills about taking pictures.
