fandomhigh | Focus on Photographers; Tuesday, First Period [03/04].

Prompto had been a little worried that what they assumed had been a touch of food poisoning that Liz had picked up on vacation might be a little something more, but both he and Noctra seemed to be feeling okay, so maybe it was just the oppressive weight of having to return to somewhere less sunny and tropical again. Forget the fact that Liz definitely never had a prob--

--nope, no, he was in class, he couldn't let himself be distracted, especially since he was really excited about today's lesson, because he had been working on it a little bit over the last week, too!

"Hey, guys!" he greeted everyone with his usual excited brightness. "And welcome back! I hope you all had a good time in Barbados last week; I know I sure did! And if you took some pictures you want to share, I'll save a little bit of time at the end of the class to do that, because you guys are all photographers worth focusing on, too! But today, I actually am going to be focusing less on a specific photographer, and more a specific group of photographers, because I had some time to check in with the Barbados Photographic Society while we were down there to get a feel for what sort of photography scene is going on down there. A lot of people clearly can make a good living with wedding photography or other sorts of commercial work, since it's such a popular destination for that sort of thing, but capturing all the vibrant life and beauty of the islands is a big pull for people with a love of the art.

"And it turns out? We actually just missed their big 20th Anniversary exhibit that hit just earlier this year, at the end of January and the beginning of February, which is such a bummer on timing! But I was able to snag a good presentation of some of the works that were featured! So today, we're going to have a look at the exhibit, and, as usual, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it! On pieces that stand out to you, something you notice about the technique, if you notice a trend in the photos, things like that! I've also got more info on some of the artists and more from them if there's anything you'd like to explore more. So, without any further ado, let's have a look at some Barbados-based photographers and focus in on their work!"

Still on that island time.

It's a pretty straightforward presentation, showing off the various photographs from the exhibit, with title and artist listed as the students get the chance to check them out and enjoy them, and hopefully make some notes for discussion later!

Any thoughts to share about the photos? Any in particular catch your eye? Which ones were your favorites or that you found the most memorable? Are there any cultural themes or other threads of interest you found? The floor is yours!

Alright, alright, now that that's out of the way, anyone got any of their own Barbados photography to share? This is probably literally the only class where it makes sense to have people wanting to actually look at your vacation photos!

Prompto is definitely getting this started with his favorite picture that Liz took of him and Noctra building sandcastles.

Who may or may not be putting in an order for pick-up for chicken soup from the diner at the end of class. Sure, he knew Iggy wouldn't be there cooking today, but still!

😭😭😭
