My sister @skyelockyer and I recently ran a week long workshop in Kepa Kurl with a group of beautiful Aboriginal kids where I got to be part of empowering them and up skilling them in the areas of art and photography, and bringing out their confidence in themselves. My favourite moments are when I am teaching young Indigenous kids about art or about using a camera. I really love seeing their faces light up and eager to learn, especially teenagers when I do photo workshops with them and seeing it finally click to them about how light and exposure works or how to capture a certain scene, they get so excited and I love that. Being a creative, I love that I can pass on my skills and knowledge to the younger generation. Each student made their own flower crown and helped in the final concept of their portraits. I have so many more to share including some special ones we created using double exposures of their artworks over their silhouettes.
