Year 10 Students to get behind the lens for Element’s Sunshine Coast photography camp
This coming week Element photography extraordinaires Lachie and Mike will be taking a group of students from Brisbane’s Anglican Church Grammer School (Churchie) on a week long photography camp in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Have a look at what the boys can expect from the week ahead and enjoy some of the photos from last year’s camp!
Last year’s camp was full of budding photographers.
The camp
It’s an immersion in outdoor, sport and adventure photography brought to you by the masters themselves. The group will travel all around the Sunshine Coast with their cameras on hand. The camping (and editing) base is tucked away in the picturesque Noosa Hinterland. On their trip they will shoot rock climbers, mountain bikers, and capture amazing landscapes and sunsets from mountain top vantage points. They will also visit some of Noosa’s national parks, shoot light painting (fire twirling), a surfing session and much more!
The students will take advantage of the amazing landscapes Queensland has to offer.
They will fine-tune their skills to capture all aspects of nature.
Students will get the chance to immerse themselves in the art of photography.
What they will learn
• Advanced photography techniques required for outdoor photography.
• The process of shooting for a client, understanding the client brief and delivering in the correct format.
• How to understand the story and/or key messages in what the’re shooting – as well as communication skills in speaking to key people and gathering relevant information to create a written article to accompany their photographs.
• Learn to shoot selectively, maintain batteries, memory cards and cameras in an outdoor environment.
Element will be on hand teaching camera techniques and settings.
They will capture images of everything from sports to nature.
Light-painting is always a fun technique to practice.
They will be both in front and behind the cameras.
Without a doubt the group will gain a lot from this experience. To have the chance to devote an entire week to improving a skill set will help them immensely in any photography future they choose.
