Take a bilingual French class with intense and devoted teachers, two cameras, and a few placards, and you get a wonderful project. The French dual-language program of PS110 The Monitor School in Greenpoint, Brooklyn allowed their Kindergarteners to show their artistic skills by making them shoot each other with a professional camera. The photographed children held a placard with their dream job written on it. Teacher, fashion designer, game maker, scientist, artist, astronaut, jewelry maker… the children showed us the diversity of their dreams and ambitions. Meanwhile, the adult team shot the students photographing their classmates and the way they were handling such an impressive material.

With the help of two professional photographers, Fabrice Trombert and Laurent Girard, the shoot became an actual artistic piece where all the pictures taken by the children were exposed. The event was such a success that the school team has decided to repeat the activity every year to follow the evolution of their bilingual children; good mementos for them to keep of their school years. It even might have inspired some new vocations, since some of them proudly held a placard bearing the word “photographer”…
