What does it cost?

It is free thanks to funding from the Local COGS and/ or Creative Communities Committee.

How many students can I bring?

You can bring 5 students and 1-2 staff or parent helpers unless we have spoken to you and given you an option for more.

 

 

 

What happens on the day?

3 mini-workshops:

    • Cellphonography and composition - How to unlock cool features on your device
    • Monochromatic photography to develop your colour theory and composition skills (this is the exhibition work)
    • Post Production Master Class using Lightroom

You learn how to:

    • Change exposure on your camera - helps to keep people from being silhouetted against the sun when you don't want that.
    • Photograph moving objects effectively
    • Blur the background in portraits
    • Composition techniques to improve people's response to your work.
    • Edit your work for the "wow" factor.

All photography on this site has been taken by Click Happy Students in the online master class.  Many of the students didn't know how to photograph before they started.

I acknowledge that the workshop will have photography taking place. We make TikTok Videos during the session to celebrate what we are doing and so if you don't want to be in the videos it is your responsibility to let us know at the beginning of the workshop so that we can avoid filming you. If you do not alert us then you give Click Happy employees, agents and successors the following rights: 1. to photograph, film, digitally record or video-record me and/or my child/ children; and 2. to make sound and voice recordings of me and/or my child/ children. These may be used now and in the future in any way that may be required. These reproductions or representations may appear as still camera photography and/or video images and/or digital images. Examples of uses include (but are not limited to) transmission in any manner and/or digital release, publication on the internet including social media, in promotional and educational material, in public exhibition or made available to our event collaborative partners (libraries, schools, and funders), both in New Zealand and overseas. Copyright, storing and ownership of the work will rest with Click Happy.

And Youth Librarians! We had no idea how amazing these community treasures are until recently! Thank you to all of the Youth Librarians who have seen the beauty in the project and have invited us to bring it to their region and who are helping to spread the word. You have halved our work and quintupled the number of youth who get to experience this program. What gifts!
