Discussions:

I had further chats with my colleague at school about photography: this time about portraits. He spoke eloquently about three-dimensional lighting, the rule of thirds and making the eye the centr-piece whenever possible. He underlined the effect that capturing small details of eye colour and markings can really make a difference.

Encounters:

Two of our students have recently declared an interest in studying photography. Our school will offer it at A-level in the near future, but these girls may prefer to explore the subject at FE college. However and wherever, such conversations open up all kinds of possibilities in staff-student communication.
