Our approach:

We wish to interview several different people -as listed above, and ask about their thoughts on Religion.

We want to ask different people, from young to elderly, priest to primary school teacher and gather all of the information and answers they give is to conclude a decision on whether Religion in Irish schools should be compulsory or not.

We want to know about their previous experiences with Religion and what they think about it in general. This will help us to conduct our final piece.

Not great practise but it isn't very noticeable.  Aperture We were using a very fast lense so it was very easy to get a good exposure whether indoor or outdoor. I went a bit crazy with the bokeh and shot almost all of th...
