Overview

""SCHOOL'S OUT FOR TEACHERS"" School Staff Portraits James Stiles Photography INTRODUCTION: 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! 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). 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. Thank you to all that participated!
