Teaching Photography in Cambodia

Note: To see the original and longer version please visit: http://vimeo.com/jenmay

For the month of August I volunteered in Cambodia and designed a photography program for the students of Tiny Toones, a hip-hop center in Phnom Penh that offers free educational classes. Everyday I taught 3 classes for about 50 students. The program went over the basics of photography such as composition and lighting, and finding good backgrounds for portraits. We prepared for a photo exhibit where the student's work were showcased at the Meta House in the city. Each print sold fundraised for the center of Tiny Toones, as well as a percentage of the proceeds given towards the student of the print purchased.

Photography is a universal language and it is wise to teach the youth how to speak it. To help support the center and the students you may purchase a print(s) by contacting me at: jenmay@jenmayphotography.com.

Thanks for watching!
