Below I have posted a section for each class or group to focus on for the Photo Studio (equip. Use what I have here and explore more on your own. Let's check in on Friday to discuss your findings! Come back here for more links as I discover them.
Check out these links to begin your research for what lights, modifiers, and other equipment we need. Let's start with a $2,000 budget and prioritize your list in order of what is most important. Some links may be blocked :(

What I would like to see is a presentation of different options for lighting (continuous lights, strobe, on-camera flash, etc. as well as different modifiers). This could be a presentation you give to the Photo 2 class as an intro to lighting and could also serve as the research for what will be best for us.
3rd & 4B: Identity
Check out the following links to explore the creation of a logo, branding and identity for a company. Research other photo studios or photographers and find examples of what kinds of photo work they do (food, sport, wedding, nature, photojournalism, etc.) Create a presentation that could be given to Photo 2 or 1 describing commercial and professional photographic careers and processes that exist in the world. You could pick an photographer or studio to profile, maybe even bring in someone to talk to the class. Use your research to help guide what our photo studio's role will be in the school and the community.
