MasterClasses

In April of 2024, Institute Alum Kevin Figueroa presented a two-hour Masterclass on Photography for several Schermerhorn high school students exploring foundational knowledge of photography concepts and techniques, along with practical skills for image capture using accessible methods.

 

Demonstrations and tactile examples provided for point-and-shoot, framing, composition, and lighting, and engaged students in hands-on activities to apply their learning in small groups, capturing images of tactile objects or scenes with guidance and feedback

 

Described by Kevin in his own words, this Masterclass focused on "basic photography concepts such as composition, lighting, and perspective ... using tactile diagrams and audio descriptions for comprehension.

 

  • Topics covered included:
  • Camera functions
  • Different camera types
  • Basic camera components
  • Practical photography techniques
