At the beginning of the year, Evija from Highland Culture collective ran a 12 session photography course, where 4 students learnt about all the different types of photography including cyanotype (one of the earliest styles of photography), portrait, landscape, movement, time lapse, micro, learning how to use Digital cameras, mobile phones. This is not all but shows the variety.
Once the photographs were taken, the service users then worked on editing their photography using applications already included in the computer software and Photoshop.
Once edited the service users were given the opportunity to print these off, frame them and exhibit them in the Cantraybridge’s café, which is open to the public. There were many inspired individuals, and they were given the opportunity to show what they had created. Some individuals had one to one support, and others preferred to work alone, with little input, using the digital tools provided and would only require advice now and again.
After a month of the exhibit the service users were then given the chance to sell their products, which are still on sale today, and we are hoping for further courses as this was so successful and really kept the attention of the students, allowing them to enhance their creativity and confidence.
