Taking photos in Oxfordshire
Stimulate your creativity
Why not try the ‘Photography Colour Challenge’ … This is a great starter activity with the young people.  Armed with cameras, take a walk around the surrounding area and get the young people to choose a specific colour – then only shoot objects of that colour. By the end of the session, you’ll be surprised how that colour jumps out at you! Â
When finished why not take the best images and assemble them into a collage or mosaic.

Vivian Maier: Who Took Nanny’s Pictures?
An inspiring woman … if you have time I recommend watching a documentary on her (from iplayer see link below)
The incredible story of a mysterious nanny who died in 2009 leaving behind a secret hoard – thousands of stunning photographs. Never seen in her lifetime, they were found by chance in a Chicago storage locker and auctioned off cheaply.
Now Vivian Maier has gone viral and her magical pictures sell for thousands of dollars. Vivian was a tough street photographer, a secret poet of suburbia. In life she was a recluse, a hoarder, spinning tall tales about her French roots. Presented by Alan Yentob, the film includes stories from those who knew her and those who revealed her astonishing work.
