PHOTOJOURNALISM

We have a huge opportunity at this school when Mr Tersigni brings famous people to speak with us. These are individuals that Media professionals get paid to take photos of and we can have a go at it too. Pay attention to the presentation in class on Tuesday which explains the nature of photojournalism. Then on Wednesday when you enter the gym find me to get a camera, or better still bring your own. If you bring your camera, remember the cord so you can download the images onto the computer after the assembly.
