For the four day Photos Tell Stories photography workshop in the Kombos, The Gambia, our young students came from various schools in the region. So, on the first day of the workshop, as a way of getting to know each other, and to familiarize themselves with the FujiFilm digital cameras, photographer and tutor, Jason Florio, asked them to photograph each other – and, he also instructed them to direct their subjects. Following are just a few examples from the students that first day.
