Keefe, JulieProject: In the classroom, Julie teaches children how to use professional 35mm film cameras to take black and white pictures that relate to a specific theme. The children discuss various ideas and come up with images they can use to combine with their writing. Recent themes have been, "How I See Myself/How Others See Me," "The Best Part of Me," "I AM," and "A Martian's View of Planet Earth." Julie Keefe is a professional photographer and co-owner with her
husband, photographer John Klicker, of KeefeKlicker Studio in Portland,
Oregon. She has 20 years’ experience working predominantly in
the photojournalism and editorial photography fields, and spends a large
part of her professional life working with fine art and nonprofit
agencies. For the last 13 years, she has worked with many inner city and
correctional agencies to bring photography and writing into the lives of
children aged 7 to 18. Her work is published locally and nationally,
and she is currently working on a book of children¹s photography and
writing. |
