On 7th June, our Year 9 class had an exciting guest speaker - the freelance photographer Alma Rosaz who has worked with brands such as Adidas, Daily Paper Kids, and Jaded London, and worked internationally in Paris, London and New York.

Alma Rosaz displayed a portfolio of her work for students to see, explaining her career journey from school to being a professional photographer. She discussed the realities of being a photographer, the necessary skills needed to succeed, and the importance of networking. She also provided the students with a photographer job-like task by asking them to take two photos of items which represented them. You can see some photos our students took in this blog post. 

The students were very engaged and took the opportunity to ask Alma Rosaz questions during the Q&A and find out more about her collaborations, projects and experiences. To wrap up the photographer task experience, Alma provided encouraging verbal and written feedback to the students after the session.

We are thankful to the students who enthusiastically took part and very grateful to Alma Rosaz for sharing her experiences and insight through her ‘lens’!
