Overview
We have prepared a proposal based on ABC School students’ interest in Photography. We
want to encourage the students to develop and improve their photography skills as
photographers and promote photography as a hobby. It’s a healthy activity and nowadays,
everybody has access to camera whether it is a DSLR or a mobile device. This club will help
the students to be creative and have fun with their fellows. It will also allow them to learn
about the technical aspects of taking a perfect photograph. This opportunity will be
provided to the students of Grade 9 to 12. Students at this age are more active and keener
to learn new things and be imaginative. By learning about photography and developing an
interest in this field, students can pursue this as a career in the future.
We have attached a signed Activity Petition. More than 15 students are interested in joining
this club. All the information is provided along with the student ID card numbers.
XYZ is willing to sponsor this club and once the committee approves the club activity, we
would conduct a meet up with XYZ.
XYZ Introduction

Photography agency in New York and Los Angeles. The XYZ agency provides photography

services such as product photography, image retouching and enhancements and location
photo shoots.
Objective
The main objective of the club is to provide a hands-on approach to the students so they
can broaden their vision and knowledge of photography. It will help students express their
opinions to a group and achieve goals working in teams. In the future, students can adopt
photography as a profession or a hobby. Visits from professional guest lecturers will provide
them inspiration and fun opportunities to explore this genre. It will be a great way for the
students to learn this skill and enjoy doing an activity that fascinates them. They will get to
meet more students from different grades with the same interests. This club will help
students improve their educational experience at ABC School.
Club Activities
The following activities will be included in the photography club:
 Basic learning and training about photography techniques, tips and tricks. Our
professional photographer, Mr. Charles, will teach the students on ways to improve
their basic photography skills.
 The club will arrange Photo Walks for the students at different locations for
inspiration and motivation.
 Students will get access to the dark room where they will skillfully develop the taken
photos.
 Regular club meeting will be held so that the students can have discussions on topics
related to photography.
 Photo exhibitions will be held at the end of each academic year. This will provide
students a chance to showcase their talent.
 Students will be able to participate in photography contests, internationally, by
submitting their photographs.
Club Recruitment
More than 15 students are already interested in joining the photography club. In order to
recruit more students, we have planned to do the following:
 Place eye-catching posters all around the campus.
 Print flyers comprising literature on photography and cameras.
 Create Facebook and other social media platform pages and share links on the
school website.
