Introduce Yourself and Share

Welcome to the class! Let’s kick things off by getting to know each other and sharing some of our photography. This week’s assignment is all about introductions, reflection, and connection.

Part One: Introduce Yourself

Write a short introduction sharing:

• Your name (or how you’d like to be addressed).

• What you hope to gain from this course.

• A little about your photography journey so far.

Part Two: Share a Photo You’re Proud Of

Choose one photo of yours that you’re especially proud of. It could be for its composition, creativity, emotional resonance, or any other reason that makes it meaningful to you.

• Share this photo on the subreddit or Discord server.

• Along with your photo, write a short paragraph explaining why you’re proud of it. What about this image makes it stand out to you?

Part Three: Engage with Others

Once you’ve shared your introduction and photo, engage with at least one fellow participant.

• Choose a photo shared by someone else in the class.

• Write a thoughtful comment. Highlight what works well in their photo and, if appropriate, offer one piece of actionable feedback. For example, “The lighting on your subject is great! To make it even stronger, consider adjusting the shadows for more contrast.”

Don’t forget to write in your Learning Journals!
