ask a high school photography teacher anything

>i teach all years where photography is available as an elective (year 10- 12)
>atm in my year 11 and 12 classes there is only one guy in each and surprise surprise they're the only ones that know what the fuck they're doing
>kids think photography is a bludge subject but i prove them wrong, this is why i go from 3 year 10 classes to only 1 in year 11- 12
>i give bonus marks if a kid uses all manual settings on their camera instead of auto

pic related, this is what one girl gave me for her portrait project. i gave her a NS and her parents called up the school to complain

so fire away, i can also provide other photos my students have taken, good or bad
