Forest School

We are really liking the growth of Forest schools.

Forest School is an inspirational process, that offers ALL learners regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on learning experiences in a woodland or natural environment with trees.

Forest Schools in the UK may seem a fairly new movement. In reality it is based on a rich heritage of outdoor learning going back at least to the 19th century.

Why Natural Photography

Published on 25th April 201631st May 2016 by HopscotchLeave a comment

Well we just like it natural, fun and relaxed.

We don’t use backdrops and lighting sets much any more. We have over the years but found it wasn’t giving us what we wanted to see. The kids just aren’t themselves and often provided a “cheesy Smile” on demand. Lots of the little ones cried and got upset so this wasn’t much fun for us either!

While using the traditional method give us, as photographers, a really consistent look to our images and can easily replicated week after week, setting to setting…they all look just the same wherever we go.

We used to do them like this…cute but…

So taking away our comfortable setup made us work a bit harder but the children were more at ease and we just let them play. This give us a chance to capture the real characters, real smiles as the children love to play in their environment. They rarely do in the traditional studio style.
