Studio Ardent

About Studio Ardent

Studio Ardent is a new CCA formed upon the merging of the former clubs Photographic Society, Sensorium Vale and PA/AVA. As such the CCA has a duty to collectively contribute to major school events through PA/AVA, photography and videography services. As a service and enrichment based CCA, Studio Ardent provides ample opportunities for its members to be well equipped with skills in all three fields, hence minimal prior experience is required for those interested in joining.

We have CCA sessions on Wednesday afternoons and Friday afternoons where the Executive Committee hold training sessions on a professional level to adequately prepare our members. The Ardent experience is not only limited to event coverage for the school as we are also an enrichment CCA and highly value artistic diversity. Hence, we provide an optional avenue for members to form production teams and work on their own Production Projects which can range from photography series to film works. These projects will be carried out apart from official CCA duty hours under the mentorship of the Executive Committee over the span of the C1 year.

CCA duties include:

PA/AVA: Morning announcements, audio mixing for school events

Photog: On-the-day event photography, behind the scenes photography, publicity shoots

Video: Behind the scenes compilations, filming at the event itself, performances recordings

(Note: members have a quota of duty hours to fulfill. Duties can either be assigned or are taken up voluntarily by members)

Members get access to an extensive inventory of photographic equipment, which includes Canon and Nikon full-frame DSLRs, ultra-wide-angle lenses as well as monolights for studio work. It should be noted that priority for equipment loans are to members with CCA duty for school events.

As a fledgling CCA we strive to live up to the names of the former CCAs that preceded us. If you are a fellow student with a passion for learning about photography or PA/AVA, wants to brush up your own portfolio, or simply wishes to capture special moments of your peers at fun school events, then Studio Ardent is the CCA for you!
