CLUBS – PHOTOGRAPHY
The Photography Club is a group of seriously enthusiastic and committed photographers bound together by our love of photography and the photographic arts. Photography is much more than just having a camera and taking pictures. Boys in this club have opportunities to hone their skills by understanding and learning about what makes a good photograph, from composition to artistic expression. Students are encouraged to practice their skills while photographing our beautiful school grounds as well as sporting events. Our weekly sessions are planned and designed to teach and learn new photography skills. The aim of the Photography Club is to give The Ridge boys the opportunity to share ideas, to discuss their mutual interest in photography in a social atmosphere and to improve their photography overall. This term the boys spent most of their afternoons outside, photographing our beautiful school gardens.
