Every year, the students in my digital photography classes produce work that borders on the professional.  Students learn about basic photographic elements and composition.  Among these elements they learn about light, shape, form, texture, framing and perspective.  The students learn about the use of shutter speed and aperture.  You can see techniques such as "the rule of thirds" and cropping used in their work. 

Middle School students are very creative.  I encourage my students to experiment using the techniques they learn in class.  Students complete a handful of projects that focus on macro photography, photographing people, and photo editing among others. 

KPMS photos are permanently  displayed in both the Gig Harbor Multicare Building and St. Anthony's Hospital in Gig Harbor.  Work is periodically on display at the Tacoma Art Museum & Gig Harbor City Hall.
