Blast TourYou are in: Isle of Man > Blast Tour > Famous Faces ![]() Famous FacesKwame Lestrade has photographed many famous actresses and musicians during his career. This week he is taking time out from his busy schedule to teach youngsters in the Isle of Man a thing or two about creating exciting photography. In my career I have photographed many famous faces, including Will.I.Am, Estelle, Sienna Miller, LL Cool J, Stephen Marley and Kano for publication in National magazines. If I could choose any artist in the world to photograph, it would probably be Chaka Khan or Stevie Wonder. ![]() In addition to my photographic work, I lecture part-time in digital photography and photoshop software, running workshops with groups from secondary schools and businesses. Having worked with BBC Blast as a workshop facilitator at several Blast events across the country, I have found the whole Blast experience both exciting and satisfying. I hope I can develop further workshops that reach out to, and engage young people. ![]() The young people in my workshops have produced some excellent work, capturing highlights of each Blast event nationwide - then downloading and improving their images onto laptops in the Blast truck. Possibly the best part of my Blast experience has been seeing young people, even those with very little photographic experience, return to the Blast truck and download fantastic images that I would be proud to have captured myself. last updated: 06/10/2008 at 15:49 SEE ALSOYou are in: Isle of Man > Blast Tour > Famous Faces |
