Pirate Pics Photo Workshop

Pirate Pics is an after school photography workshop. This is a non technical hands on class based on discovery and exploration using cameras in the field (on and off campus) and digital imaging software (Adobe Photoshop) in the lab. Students explore the tools and uses of photography while enjoying the ‘free time’ to ‘play’ with the various opportunities offered through the subject areas offered.

Join in the fun as our OHS Pirate Pics students enjoy learning tips, tricks and techniques from the pros in this award winning after school photo work shop each Tuesday from 2:30 – 4:30 in the OHS Digital Studio. ohs.oside.us/pp

Thanks to @jtrhoades (OHS Digital Studio alumni) and @1800bobbylong for helping us recreate a famous Transworld Skateboarding magazine cover that Grant took of @jamiethomas over a decade ago. @ Prince Park”
