Every photograph tells a story. In this one-day workshop, students learn to slow down, look closer, and capture images with meaning. Through hands-on shooting sessions, creative challenges, and guided instruction, students explore how still photography can express a feeling, a moment, or a point of view, and leave with a camera of their own to keep creating.
How the Day Works - We begin with the foundations of photography. Students explore a range of photographic genres and styles through real examples, then dive into the essentials of lighting and framing. We also talk about the artistic process: where inspiration comes from, how photographers develop their eye, and what makes a portrait feel personal.
Then the cameras come out. Students head into breakaway sessions built around creative prompts, timed challenges that push them to notice the world in new ways, such as hunting for a theme, a color, or a feeling and capturing it through their lens. They'll practice portraiture by photographing their classmates, then walk across the street to East Park for nature and street photography, finding stories in the landscape and in everyday life around them.
The Final Story - The day concludes with a group review of everyone's images. Each student then selects a final collection of photos that work together to tell a cohesive visual story with feeling, an important skill for any photographer.
Your Camera Comes Home With You - Every student receives a Klik camera, included in the cost of the workshop, to use throughout the day and take home to keep shooting long after class ends. We will also provide each student’s chosen final collection of images, edited and emailed to parents within one week.
What to Bring - Students should bring their own lunch, snacks, and a full water bottle. Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing for time outdoors.
Ages 10-14. Limited to 8 students.
