Pups Pose for Free Photoshoots
Who let the dogs in?! Photography did...
Loxton Campus was recently visited by an incredible crew of canine companions as our Photography department hosted free dog photoshoots for the public.
The student-led sessions, that sold out in less than 1 hour, allowed learners from Level 2 and Level 3 Photography courses to take on a number of different job roles including: Photographer, Photographer's assistant, Studio Manager and Meeter and Greeter. As well as practicing practical and technical skills using challenging subjects, the learners gained invaluable experience working with the public.
Jo Halladey, Lecturer in Photography added: "We had a fantastic response to our Dog Photoshoot sessions resulting in our Level 3 Photography students having 3 full days of studio work.
"The experience they gained from working with members of the public and in particular working with all kinds of different dogs from Labradoodles to Pomchis, old and very young has added to their skillset and made them even more ready for the industry. We are hoping to do a cat version next year... Watch this space!"
Experiences such as this are one of the many career-boosting benefits that come to students by being part of the Creative Arts Career Excellence Hub.
These employer endorsed Hubs unlock many exciting opportunities for learners. From guest speakers to industry placements, connecting with the industry helps to make our courses as fresh and relevant as possible so that you leave college with more than just a qualification.
Following the free photoshoots, the department are asking for donations to Many Tears Rescue: A dog rescue charity whose buildings were severely damaged by recent storms.
