A COLOURFUL, fun and educational event took place in Presentation Secondary School on Wednesday which saw students get a taste of photography and special effects make-up art.
In a collaboration between the Transition Years and tutors and trainees from Kerry ETB Training Centre in Monavalley, a special make-up event was held.
TY’s had already practiced an amazing range of professional techniques from Studio Portrait Photography and Digital Photo Editing to the secrets of fantastical Special Effects Make-Up Art when they visited Kerry ETB Training Centre in Tralee last week.

Beauty Therapy Instructor Tara O’Halloran Cronin and Jim Twomey, Instructor at The National Media Centre at Kerry ETB, facilitated a fascinating day of super hands-on workshops.
Then on Wednesday, a make-up art event was held where the TY students worked in teams to execute their Creative Special Effects Concepts under the watchful eye of Tara and her team.
A professional photography pop-up studio was created in the school art rooms with Jim and his team facilitating before and after portrait shots.
“Our TYs are having an amazing experience learning about professional photography and working on each other as make-up artists and models,” said art teacher, Lily O’Sullivan.
“It’s also about careers like beauty therapy, professional photography, film animation and it’s great co-operation between educational institutions in the town,” said Ms O’Sullivan. Scroll down for photos…
