Last week, Ms. Densieski’s journalism class at had a special guest: a professional photographer who offered hands-on tips and tricks for capturing the perfect shot. The visit turned out to be more than just a lesson in photography—it was an inspiring experience that opened students’ eyes to potential careers in visual storytelling.
The students were thrilled as the photographer shared insights on lighting, composition, and how to use angles to tell a compelling story through images. With cameras in hand, they explored the campus, experimenting with different perspectives and techniques under the photographer’s guidance.
What made the day even more special were the personal stories the photographer shared about how they turned their passion into a successful career. Hearing these real-life experiences inspired several students to consider photography as more than just a hobby. Some of them even expressed interest in pursuing photography in college—a sign that this lesson went beyond the classroom.
Ms. Densieski was thrilled with the outcome of the photography lesson, seeing it as an opportunity to inspire her students’ futures. For her, the true success of the day was measured by the possibility that even one student might walk away feeling like they’ve discovered a new passion. Encouraging students to explore their interests and unlock their potential is at the heart of her teaching approach.
The event not only highlighted the importance of creativity in education but also showed how hands-on experiences can spark new career interests. As these young journalists continue to develop their skills, who knows—perhaps we’ll see some of them behind the lens as future photographers, capturing stories that shape our world.
Stay tuned for more exciting opportunities from Ms. Densieski’s journalism class!
