BarbaraChristiansen NORTH COUNTY STAFF On a regular basis, the doors open and teenagers exit, cameras in hand, ready to go "on assignment." as-signment." They are in classes at Digital Studio, which is teaching them digital photography. Alan and Doris Harwell own the studio and are working with the American Fork Arts Council to offer the instruction. Alan Harwell said a mother came in and said her son was excited to have a digital camera, cam-era, but no one in the family knew how to work it. Harwell talked to Lori England from the Arts Council and discovered discov-ered there was a lot of interest in photography. "I realized that our studio was in a unique position," he said. "We have computers loaded with software and a studio loaded with digital equipment. What we are offering of-fering is that each student will learn using their own camera, but will have a turn at using real professional equipment." "Each week we visit areas of interest such as the zoo, Thanksgiving Point and other local fun spots," Alan Harwell. "Every few weeks we will meet at our studio to make enhancements and print out photos for their portfolios." The students have had an orientation to their cameras, visited neighboring locations in the community and gone to the zoo to photograph wildlife. They plan on taking photos at a local child care center and catching action at the Qrem skateboard park. Alan Harwell said each assignment has a student as a project manager. That individual is in charge of the event, with oversight from the Harwells. "The project leader decides what pictures need to be taken with the fancy cameras," he said. "We step in as coaches." They help the students not only take the photos, but also process them. "We help them do it the best way how to crop, how to use different settings," he said. "The main things we want the students to learn is how to take charge, how to decide what they want. Good photos don't just happen." The Harwells plan on continuing con-tinuing instruction after school What we are offering of-fering is that each student will learn using their own camera, but will have a turn at using real professional profes-sional equipment. Alan Harwell DIGITAL STUDIO starts again. "Forever as long as the kids want to keep coming," Alan Harwell said. He said they would be willing will-ing to teach both adults and youth. In addition to the classes, the studio is a full-service portrait studio. "We do weddings, families, high school seniors and others," oth-ers," Doris Harwell said. "We are members of the Professional Profession-al Photographers Association." When they create wedding and other albums, they often put multiple images on one page, making a digital collage. They also do photo restoration restora-tion and use the same collage technique for historic photos. "It is the new wave of photography," pho-tography," Doris Harwell said. Alan Harwell was an illustrator illus-trator in the Air Force for 16 years and he worked as the head illustrator for President Bush's inaugural committee, then for the surgeon general. "Do you remember when Colin Co-lin Powell would point to maps of Bosnia?" he said. "Those were mine." ticker Lunceford honored as entrepreneur For Every Body CEO.
