Photography Workshop for UCCE Kids

Recently a group of migrant teenagers enjoyed a  photography workshop in Shepparton run by Liz Arcus Photography & Uniting Care Ctuting Edge www.ucce.org.au . We went out and about in the community of Shepparton learning the basics of photography using disposable film cameras. New skills were learnt, new friends were made, and it was a great confidence building program for the teenagers. A mini exhibition was held at the end to display their favourite images. The students also made their own journals using the images.
