Soha is an year 6 student at Epsom Normal Primary School (2022). She enjoys photography and participated in our Borrow a camera, Tell a story program. Here is a portfolio of her best and most favourite images.
 

I’m 11 years old. I live with my Mum and Dad in Auckland and I have a pet cat called Alex. I go to Epsom Normal Primary School and I’m in year 6. I have friends that I enjoy playing with and they are: Taila, Tiana, Ashley, Saeesha, Dhemira, Shanvi and Sophia. My interests are Art because I like drawing and I believe I am good at it. I drew the starry night by Van Gogh. Its turned out to be very pretty. I enjoy photography because I like taking photos from different angles and perspectives. I enjoy making memories through my photographs of my pet Alex, animals and nature. When I see these photos, I feel as if I am experiencing the moment. Taking photos of nature and birds like Fantails, Tuis, Pukekos inspires me. My favourite picture is one I took of a Kea because when the Kea was flying I saw its rainbow wings and they looked so beautiful. The most challenging part for me is when plants move around all the time in the wind and I can’t take a good photo and it comes out blurry. I’m not doing any photography projects so far but I intend to do more in the future. I need to click photos with a lower number of aperture because I haven’t been doing it that much I would also love to do another workshop. Through my workshop I learnt that when you want to take the photo of a subject make sure the subject is always in the middle and take your time trying capture the perfect shot.
