Thomas Jefferson High School’s Photography Teacher Jeff Coleman is taking traditional photography to the next level. “We wanted a way to showcase the student’s work in a different way than the display cases in the hallways,” he said. “An online gallery is functional and practical; anyone can access it at any time of the day,” said Coleman.
The gallery can be accessed through the homepage of the TJ Journal or by going to: http://www.photogallery.tjjournal.com/. The Online Gallery is a blog-based site where the best photographs are posted weekly.
Coleman also started an online magazine called Studio 107 showcasing specific projects that his Photo Two class completed. The online magazine debuted in April of 2010, with its first feature being the Photo Two class magazine project. “Each student was assigned to make a magazine spread. They needed a topic and pictures, and it all needed to look seamless. The best spreads were featured on the magazine,” said Coleman.
In the future, Coleman hopes to showcase most of his student’s projects online so parents are able to access their work. “I’m very content with how the online gallery is going, and I am excited for next year’s,” said Coleman.
