Instrucciones De Uso – Bachillerato 5/7 “Emiliano Zapata” de Río Grande/COBAO 25, Río Grande
The idea of these sessions was to be able to have and reflect on the image and time with the students. With all the technological changes of recent years, the photography we have and we take for granted today has left behind the analog images.
For me it was very important to try to give some basic concepts about the professional camera, in manual mode, to talk about the measurement of light, the composition of the image, and the different variables that exist in taking the picture.
From a brief account of the history of the image, to some basic concepts of the professional camera we turn to practical examples, where students did exercises with their own classmates. From there began a certain reflection of something they always took for granted, when taking photos automatically with their cell phone.
Part of the exercises included taking pictures with film roll, photographing a roll as a team.
The students also answered a couple of questions:
“What would you say to yourself in a month?”
“What is your favorite place in school?
Each student decided that he would take in those photos, from portraits to his best friends, fruit trees that they love, or recreate scenes that have remained in their mind as they pass through the school.
The photos after revealing and printing them were sent along with their messages to each of them. As a letter or message with a delay in time.
A voice from the past, from themselves coming sometime in the future.
With the passing of the sessions, the kids were getting more excited with the exercises and their photos. I would like to go to the future, and talk with them once they receive their own images and their own words by mail.
