Patients enjoy fun photography day at hospital school

Great Ormond Street Hospital patients were given a special treat recently, with a food photography day in the hospital school. Given only a basket of fresh produce and a box of props, the children worked together to create individual works of art.
The junior photographers were also able to see their masterpieces on screen, and learn how to manipulate the images using air-brushing and colouring techniques.
The interactive workshop with one of the UK’s top food photographers, Maja Smend, was hosted by Pink Lady® for patients and their siblings at the hospital school.
Their favourite photos were then entered into the Pink Lady® Food Photographer of the Year Awards which includes a special ‘Apple a Day’ category in aid of the charity. Pink Lady® also donated a collection of bright pink digital cameras to the charity to enable the children to continue with their new-found hobby.
Carole Flynn, assistant head teacher at the Children’s Hospital School at Great Ormond Street, said: “The children were delighted to be able to spend the day with a professional photographer. They found it both fun and inspiring, and are keen to use the cameras again very soon! It was wonderful that Pink Lady® could get involved with our half term art week, and we look forward to seeing the winners of the photography awards when they are announced in April.”
Launched in August this year, the Pink Lady® Food Photographer of the Year aims to capture the best of the varied world of food. The “An Apple a Day” category showcases the most creative, inventive and beautiful images of an apple with £2 from each entry fee being donated to the charity.
Top chef and restaurateur Tom Aikens, who will be judging the ‘Apple A Day’ charity category, said: “I am a huge fan of Great Ormond Street Hospital, and it is great that some of the children there have had this really exciting chance to work with a real food photographer – I think they will have found it much harder than they thought!”
Pink Lady® has supported Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity since 2008, raising in excess of £45,000. Find out more about how companies help us and how yours could do on our “Corporate Giving” pages.
