This spring MCH students explored their creative side with
an after school photography class led by recreation coordinator Kimberly
Bobbitt. Around 22 students participated in the weekly class.
The class was part of the recreation department’s overall
goal to engage students in healthy, constructive activities after school and
expose them to something they normally wouldn’t be able to do on a regular
basis. With photography being one of her hobbies, Kimberly said she also wanted
to share one of her passions with her students.
“My initial goal with the students was to create a class
that was fun, a place for them to learn some new things about photography, and
to make the class a space for the students to be creative,” Kimberly said.
During each class, the students had a short lesson followed
by a mini photography project. They learned basic photography concepts such as
hard and soft light, composition, techniques and different styles of
photography. Kimberly said one of her most popular lessons was a light graffiti
project where students learned about long exposures and used flashlights and
glow sticks to draw pictures while the shutter of the camera was open. Also,
the students learned about the professions of food photography and food
stylists while decorating cupcakes and photographing them.
Below are a few of the photographs taken by MCH students in
the photography class:
