Yamandu visited our local elementary school for the portrait workshop.
Six pupils from the 4th grade and Ms. Ebina welcomed us for 2-hour lesson!
やまちゃんが神領小学校4年生のクラスを訪問し、ポートレート写真の課外授業を行いました。


Yamandu introduced himself and described to them how he became a photographer.
After he taught them the use of light and the importance of the background in photography, they all went out shooting!
光の使い方、背景の大切さについて説明を受けた後、みんなで外に出て撮影開始！

They teamed up in pairs and took portraits of each other with a lot of thought put into light, the backgrounds, the composition and the expressions.
ペアを組んでそれぞれパートナーのポートレートを撮ります。光や背景、表情やポーズに工夫を凝らして楽しそうに撮影してくれました。


After taking hundreds(!) of photos, six pupils and Yamandu went back to the class room and looked at what they got.
We were impressed how well they all turned out!
Kids must have enjoyed it so much,  during the break they went to the next class room and started taking pictures of friends.
たくさん撮った後は、教室に戻って写真一枚一枚をみんなで確認しました。とっても良い写真ばかりです。
休み時間もカメラをもってお隣のクラスへ撮影に出かけていきました！

Yama-chan gave them feedback to each pupils and ended the workshop.
Later he came back with seleceted and developed photos to exhibit in the main foyer for everyone to enjoy the portraits! 
最後にやまちゃんかた講評をしてもらい、一旦授業は終了。その後やまちゃんが写真の選考と現像を済ませ、みんなが帰る前に鑑賞できるように昇降口手前の廊下に張り出しました。


Thank you so much everyone. Great work!
神領小学校のみなさん、どうもありがとうございました！
