Nightingale Priory Lane learners capture autumn in Richmond Park

Learners at Nightingale Priory Lane have been taking stunning autumnal photos in nearby Richmond Park. The group have found it to be a fantastic location to capture light, landscapes and wildlife. They have photographed stags and deer, which are surprisingly accessible and unphased by visitors to the park.

A group of learners have chosen photography as part of the afternoon LIFT programme and, after getting to grips with the basic functions of the cameras, have been out and about getting plenty of hands-on practice.

The aspiring photographers are working towards capturing the autumnal colours of the trees and working with natural light as the seasons change. They have captured some stunning photographs and are looking to get these printed to sell at the school’s Christmas Fair in December.

The LIFT programme offers learners a variety of optional subjects designed to fit their interests and aspirations. It allows learners to develop, not only skills like photography, but also teamwork, communication and leadership.
