February Photo Shoot Assignment

Tarakanita 3 photography club had a monthly photo project on last February. Modeling photography was the theme for their project. This project was to fulfill their assignment in photography extracurricular of Tarakanita 3 Jakarta Junior High.

We chose the theme because we thought it will quite challenging and it was. Students dealt with some photography techniques like lighting, composition, depth of field, angle and communication with the model. Simple and casual was the concept idea for models,which was directly related to the costume that the model wore. T-shirt, dress, tank top, skirt, sneakers or heels are easy wardrobes that every girl at school has. Models were photographer's friends or relatives. Photographer arranged all the needs; location, camera and its additional tools, and models' costume. They also had a task to direct the model and communication is the key in this case.

The activity was aimed to improve students' skill in photography. One of the students said "there were so many things we have learnt not only the photography technique but also the interaction between photographer and the model". He also said it was a very fun activity.
