If you are interested in photography, want to share your photos with other students, take pictures around town, and compete in contests, the Marblehead High School Photography Club is the place for you.
The founders of the Photography Club, Colin Hart, Dylan Whitman, and I, have had a shared passion for photography for a while, and we have spent a lot of time practicing around town, in nature, and at sporting events over the last year. We each found that photography is a rewarding hobby, and we started Instagram accounts to share our photos with our peers. We wanted to share our passion and knowledge for the skill with other students at the high school.
Eventually, we had the idea of starting a club for MHS photographers to share their photos, compete in photography contests, take photos around town, and support photography in other communities. The photography courses at Marblehead High School are popular, so we were sure that lots of people would be interested in the club. Ms. Bordieri, who teaches photography, was happy to help us organize it and set everything up. We filled out the club application and established the Google Classroom.
After school on Thursday, January 9th, about twenty juniors and sophomores packed into the photography room for the first ever meeting of the MHS Photography Club. We shared our photos with each other, discussed the purpose of the club, and made plans for the rest of the year. Throughout the rest of the year, we will organize school-wide photography contests, trips around town to take pictures, and fundraisers to support communities in need.
The first Photography Club contest will be held on Thursday, January 23rd. If you are interested in participating, join the Google Classroom and submit your photos. The Google Classroom code is erbpx46.
If you have taken a photography class at MHS and want to get more involved in photography, don’t hesitate to join the Google Classroom and show up to our meetings. Even if you haven’t taken a class and you want to learn more about photography, you should still stop by and join in on the fun.
