30 students in under an hour!

every year i work together with a local school and their english "challenge" program. at the end of the year the excelling students writing gets put together into a printed book accompanied by a fun portrait. i was fortunate enough to know the woman who runs the program (she used to be my teacher!) and i got to be the photographer for the book when it first started 3 years ago.

since that time the book has become a huge inspiration for students coming into the middle school, one of their favourite parts is getting their photo taken.

this year there were 32 students that i got to photograph.... in under and hour!!! (and as we all know, middle school age kids can be a photographic challenge!)
in the end i was thrilled with how the photos turned out, and i thought i'd share a few of my favourites.
as always i can't wait to see the final printed book (note, the designer has created the book in a square format, hence the square crop)

c&c welcome

I like the way the clothes and the background match ... not so in the first picture, but it doesn't matter. The square format has taken its toll in terms of cropped out body parts ... #1 is the most suited to a square in my opinion.
