A few weeks back the first year students held a drama competition. My three classes along with the four other classes each performed a drama they wrote, directed and acted in. It was quite successful and I am happy to say that my class 5 won the overall competition. I was also a judge but I promise I did not sway the vote.
Before the event I arrived to my afternoon class with my camera in tow. I immediately noticed Lucinda dressed up and looking very embarrassed because she was all made-up, and beautifully at that! I was surprised but excited, so I playfully took out my camera and snapped a couple shots which created some buzz and laughter amongst her classmates. Lucinda played the evil queen in her play, and another girl May, played Snow White, so she was also made-up very beautifully.
After my class took a writing assessment I asked the girls and some of the other actors and set people to wait for me in my classroom so I could take some glamour shots. I closed the blue curtain and set up my wireless flash and took some tests shots of Colin. Turned out pretty good so I got Lucinda and May to do some modeling for me. Quite a bit shy, but I think they would like the result. Also, I just winged it, I really don't know much about doing these types of shots. Good practice though. Think I got the nice simple background and lighting alright, especially for just using what I had in my classroom.
