Photographer visits Island Time students


Carsten Schael is an award winning German photographer and is president of Hong Kong’s photographic society . He came to Island School to talk to the year 7 Island Time photography group, as well as some year 10 students who are studying lens-based media GCSE. He talked to us about his inspirations, while showing us a slide show of his photography work. He explained the meaning behind each picture and gave us some helpful advice and useful tips.

Carsten told us a bit about his work and how important it is to make a picture send a message across to people. He works with many people but mostly takes pictures for magazines, journals and other articles. After taking a photo he edits it to make the photo look better and give it more feel. Sometimes, he merges the photos together so that he can capture a lot of activity.

In Island Time we have been taking pictures that reflect our cultural identity. We have been studying the viewpoint and composition of our photos and the ones we will be taking. The Island Time photography group have been using Carsten’s ideas and tips to make our photos look good. The photos that we have been taking over holidays are going to be displayed in our Island Time exhibition.
