Mass Isolation Education Program with Jesse Marlow

Photography is an amazing tool for capturing and sharing the experience of both isolated individuals and unprecedented global events. 

The Mass Isolation Education Program with Jesse Marlow is an online photography unit developed and taught by renowned street photographer Jesse Marlow. This program encourages students to explore and express themselves through photography and creatively document their own experience of isolation and COVID-19.

Jesse Marlow guides students through basic photography skills and activities while they are stuck in their homes and nearby neighbourhood, with the end goal of producing a photographic series that represents the students experience of mass isolation in 2020 (although obviously tailored towards 2020 learning, these video are still very clear and well laid out with lots of great introductory level tips for beginner photographers).

Suitable for secondary students, this resource consists of six workshops with instructional videos (5–10 mins duration each) and accompanying teachers' notes for each workshop.

This free online program can be used for remote or in class learning. All students need for this unit is access to a camera (a Smart Phone is fine) and a computer.
