Treloar College students capture new skills in Sony photography workshop

Treloar College students recently took part in a photography workshop, part of Sony’s For the Next Generation initiative, which aims to inspire creativity and develop technical skills through hands-on learning.

As part of its support for the Kids in Focus programme, Sony generously donated seven ZV-E10 vlogging cameras to Treloar College, giving students access to professional-quality equipment.

During the workshop, students learned the fundamentals of photography and videography, with Sony staff providing expert guidance on camera functions, techniques and creative approaches. Through practical activities, students gained valuable experience and developed new digital and creative skills.

The session gave students the opportunity to work with professional-grade cameras, learn from industry experts and explore a variety of photographic genres, including portrait, action and street photography.

“I really liked the workshop and learning lots of new techniques.

Everyone’s needs were accounted for whether they used the app or a tripod, the task was clear and constructive so we could all understand whilst also keeping us engaged and interested. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience.” 

Monica

“I really enjoyed getting to know the cameras and all the settings. The demonstrations were good, when we filmed the slow motion outside and experimenting with shutter speeds with the Nerf guns. 

I feel I have gained the skills to use at college, both for my EPQ and some enrichment opportunities.”
