School's Out For Teachers

<p>   <strong>SCHOOL'S OUT FOR TEACHERS</strong></p><p><strong>            School Staff Portraits </strong></p><p><strong>        James Stiles Photography</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>INTRODUCTION:</strong></p><p><br></p><p>To create these photographic portraits I had asked the PVPHS High School staff to bring personal inanimate things to be photographed with. These things did not have to be totally self-defining. They could be whimsical things as well or some sport or hobby enjoyed even a particular item of clothing or a cherished object. The more that was brought to the photo shoot the more opportunities that gave me to do something creative with it!</p><p><br></p><p>I began this portrait project in the first half of the 2019-20 school year before it was suddenly cut short by the pandemic returning to it in the 2022-23 school year (without masks).</p><p> </p><p>My hope is to show the three dimensionality and richness of the teachers and staff beyond the school day providing a small glimpse of their personal worlds. Most have also provided a favorite quote to be displayed under their images. Within the book there are 71 portraits.  </p><p><br></p><p>Thank you to all that participated! </p><p><br></p><p>James Stiles</p><p>PVPHS - Photo & Video Teacher</p><p>stilesj@pvpusd.net</p><p>jstilesphoto@gmail.com</p><p><br></p><p> </p>
