Photography Classes nj
A lawyer by trade, but a photographer
by passion, Denise Mabilog is finally living her dream and is passing
along her photography skills to the next generation.Mabilog is teaching a photography class for young
people at the Swedesboro branch of the Gloucester County Library system.Ten students ranging in age from 10 to 15 are taking
the class free of charge. Funded by a grant from the Gloucester County
Cultural and Heritage Commission, the nine-week course has been held every
other Monday since mid-May. The $3,000 grant covered the purchase of 15
digital cameras for the students use and the fee for Mabilog’s time.Each hour-long class consists of a lesson and
hands-on training with the cameras. The class sometimes takes walking
trips in the neighborhood to put what they’re learning into practice.At the end of each session, students are given an
assignment and must then submit their three best resulting photographs to
Mabilog. She posts selections on her blog at
www.denisemabilog.blogspot.com and the class constructively critiques
each others’ shots at the next meeting.Mabilog has covered topics such as light,
composition, color, motion, people, landscapes and photo journalism. Their
final project will consist of a series of ten photos that relate in some
way to their lives and a presentation to the class.
