After direction from workshop photographer and tutor, Jason Florio, it was time for our Gambian students to get behind the camera. And, they were very vocal and clear in directing their fellow photography students. Using Jason’s backdrop, dating back to the 1940’s – which he has used over many years in much of his portraiture work – here are just a few examples of what the students produced that day – we think they did really rather well.
