# Capturing Our City

Alsop sixth form photography students have participated in a field trip to Liverpool City Centre. The purpose of the visit was to give these young photographers the opportunity to put into practice the skills taught in the classroom and boost their confidence of working in a public space.

The photographers visited a number of local landmarks around the city and explored some of the historical culture Liverpool has to offer. They were given a brief talk about the newly unveiled Brian Epstein statue. They also took a stroll down the famous Matthew Street, learning more about the Beatles. The day concluded with a visit to the Liverpool waterfront area, where they were able to capture images of the Liver birds and the world-famous architecture.

The students were also lucky enough to visit the new exhibition being held at the Open Eye Gallery. These exhibits were created during lockdown. This provided students with an opportunity to reflect on their own experiences, and see how art can be used as a way to handle situations as well as document them.

> **Mr Morris – Head of Photography writes:** “These visits are vitally important to us as a department and school, in helping bridge the gap between the classroom and the real world. They are a perfect opportunity for students to develop their knowledge of the subject whilst also learning a little about the history of where they live.”

> **Tatendo Moyo, a Year 12 student comments:** “I really enjoyed the opportunity of experimenting with the camera and visiting some of the famous areas of Liverpool. I feel it helped me to explore what we have been learning in class and gain confidence using the camera.”
