WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Field Trip to Ficarra Studios!
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Visiting actual photography studios gives students hands-on experience with controlled lighting, access to professional-grade equipment, and an understanding of how to run a creative business. It bridges the gap between textbook theory and the real-world execution required for a commercial career.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: We will visit a local studio and find out about Studio Photography for a real life business!
A studio field trip is a great opportunity for students to learn about both photography and the business side of the profession.
