And this is the Teachers’ Day celebration. Enjoy!
Category Archives: Children
I was commissioned to take some photographs for a Teachers’ Day tribute at Catholic High School. It’s actually a surprise by the parent support group to feature one of the Primary 1 class, and the aim was to capture candid and journalistic moments during one full school day.
Having done interior and architecture photography, and countless weddings all this while, I realized I’ve never done anything like this before. Not even children birthdays! I thought to myself “But if candid and journalistic photographs are what the clients are looking for, then I reckon it’s going to be (quite) similar to weddings!” Therefore I took up the assignment; but still felt tense the night before (couldn’t sleep obviously!) and kept repeating ‘try to document it like a wedding!’.
The next day, I arrived at the school with my camera gear and started to document the day. Ms Julie Low (the form teacher) assured me that the boys are very used to cameras and they are very very not camera shy as she always take pictures of them during class activities and excursions. That assured me and I went on playing along with the boys, capturing their most innocence and playful spirit!
The experience was exhilarating and it brought me back to those days in school.
Oh yes and I reckon I should start doing children related photography too! :p
