The Forest High School photography students attended an excursion to Sun Studios in Alexandria for the presentation of the winner of the photography competition sponsored by Canon on 21st November 2016.
Students had to submit a photo showing the concept of freedom. Year 10 student Amy Na was the winner of a Canon camera valued at $700. The General Manager of Sun Studios, Alan Brightman, took students on a tour of the studios, including one studio where there was a photo shoot in progress, provided morning tea and gave a short talk about photography as a career. He also provided the judge's comments about each photo and suggested ways of improving on the photos, which was invaluable to the students. All those who attended thought it was a really invaluable excursion and provided them with an insight into the world of photography.
Our photo shows Alan Brightman presenting the Canon camera to Forest High School photography teacher Ms Fiona Livingstone, who accepted the prize on behalf of Amy Na who was unable to attend on the day.
