Last Tuesday we had a workshop with Tom Pope, the current photographer in residence of Jersey. The first half of the day he had a presentation and talked through his previous works, and then in the second part of the day after lunch, we went and did some activities. One of the man aspects he is exploring is play and so we partook in some photography related games.

The first was a game where we were given an orange, which we had to throw between ourselves (in pairs) and whoever hadn’t thrown the orange had to ‘catch’ the orange in a photo as  close as they could to the camera.

The second game was where, in pairs again, you each hold your own cameras, but without your finger on the shutter, and you put your first finger of your left hand on the other persons shutter, the aim is to try and take as many selfies on the other persons camera as possible, whilst trying to prevent them from taking photos on your camera.
