Last year NOMU donated to FunDza a fabulous Canon camera so we could document the life and times of FunDza that much better in pictures. We’re hugely grateful!

But, none of us had been trained properly to use the camera. So, in April we asked Cover2Cover’s go-to photographer Simon Watson to give us a crash course in getting good shots that tell a story. It was a fun day in the office, learning about light, exposure, aperture, composition, editing and more.

Take a look at some of the pictures we took.
