By Kasey Landry, Grade 12, SJB

I am a grade 12 student taking the new photography class at St. Jean de Brébeuf Catholic Secondary School. The course teaches both traditional and digital photography. In this class you learn about the different settings on the SLR camera and have fun during the developing process.  I love this class because it allows me to be creative and express myself. I have found it very interesting to learn how photography started and about the developing process. If you pay attention and follow instructions, your photographs will turn out great and you will be surprised at the quality of photos you can take, while having fun in the process.

The photogram was our first studio assignment where we had to choose a theme and find objects that both represented the theme and that would leave an interesting shape on the paper. I chose objects that represented something about my life. This assignment was where we first learned about the developing process.

This class is great for people who have creative expression, who love taking pictures and love learning new things.

SJB will have a photography exhibit at Turner Park Library in the spring.
