• I actively encourage you to come to Photography

after school. However, you should only be in here
to work on your Photography projects. The
photography room is not a common room space,
with this in mind only Photography students will
be allowed in room, unless they are helping with a
shoot.

THEME
Choose the
way you want
your website
to look
Your theme controls the visual layout and
appearance of your site. There are 100’s
of themes for you to choose from. We
recommend the Portfolio websites for your
Photography work.
help.edublogs.org/change-theme/
Choose a suitable theme – something
professional looking and fairly minimal
in design so it doesn’t distract from the
excellent images you are going to
share during the course. A white
background is better than any other
colour in our opinion. We recommend
a theme from the "Portfolio” section.
