Seaford's inspirational Art Gallery is surrounded by classrooms.
Students have art booths where they can create their artwork. This is similar to the set up students have at an Art College.
“I’m a Student Content Creator and work with the Seaford Marketing Team. It’s taught me a lot about how the marketing side of a school runs. It’s great to be someone who is helping the school, not just at the school. It’s given me confidence and experience of doing events. I need to do a few more now!
When I did my first one, it was experience of working under pressure. There was a lot to do and all at once. At the beginning this stressed me but now I am more relaxed. I’m able to do it on my own as I’ve had experience of what it’s like to be an actual photographer. It’s nerve-wracking but good!
When I did my second event I had ideas beforehand of what I wanted. I knew what shots I wanted to get. I’d recommend the role to other people interested in doing photography or getting into the creative industry. Or even if you’re interested in it, just as a hobby.
I’ve put myself out of my comfort zone by photographing events and becoming a Prefect. I know that if I’ve done that, there’s nothing I can’t do. It’s nice to know it’s not the end of the world if I make a mistake too.”
