Maidstone Intermediate – Click Happy Workshop – Upper Hutt (15 August 2022)

We are thrilled with the funding received from Upper Hutt City Council, which enabled us to work with Maidstone Intermediate and organize a successful Click Happy/Visual Poetry Jam workshop.
Our goal is to foster creativity, storytelling skills, and confidence among the youth in Upper Hutt. We are grateful for the support and excited about the positive impact we are making in our community.

We started the day with a workshop to familiarize the students with the advanced settings on their cellphones. Then we worked on post production skills using the free apps from Lightroom and Snapseed. We went on a photowalk around the school too, more practice and learned additional composition skills. Then we came back in and finished the day learning how to do monochromatic imagery both physically creating it and by converting multicoloured images and then editing them in Lightroom.
