Previous | Next :: Jez Coulson making a Photograph : After School Soccer : USA | November 17, 2013, 9:40 pm

Here is a picture of me shooting a kids soccer game in an after hours school program ......... picture shot by Matt :-)) Over the years I have made a pile of pictures of schools. At one stage we Insight London blokes used to shoot between us all the front covers for The Times Education Supplements in the UK .......... I once shot the good schools guide for the Daily Telegraph ........ I even shot pictures for the first UK government green paper ever to be illustrated with photography ........ for the Education Department .......... I do love shooting in schools ........ but as you can see from this above ......... it is very bad for your posture.............. you need to get down at the level of the kids which is more of a problem the smaller the kids get :-)) ............ Because I spend a lot of my time kneeling in Primary and Pre K Schools ....... I always wear knee protectors .......... and those Black Rapid camera straps as well........ they help not to do your back in what ever position you are in ......... kids are not interested of course but all this garb caused one maths teacher to exclaim I looked like something from 'Mad Max'......... hehehehe.........:-))) .......... As the art director said......... Thats more true than you know in the case of Jez ......... hehehehehehe........ :-))))))))))) I'm sure its pretty bad if you look like some one from a grim dystopian future....... :-//////// :-))))))) I need to do something about my wardrobe and my whole look :-))))))))))))) hehehehe......... :-)))))))

Cheers Jez XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

PS......... This particular school had fantastic teachers ....... its great for me if the teachers just get on with it and really engage their students and just ignore me .......... a music teacher whose lesson we photographed had her children so enraptured by her teaching I heard one pupil say at the end of the lesson after I had been photographing for 30 minutes at least ........ "when are they going to take the photographs ? I thought we were going to have our pictures taken "........... he was literally unaware I had been photographing him and his class throughout his entire lesson .......... Now thats good teaching !! :-)))))))))))
