What to Expect

I believe one of the best ways to learn and grow as a photographer is to share your work, have it critiqued and begin to learn how to observe and critique the images that surround us.  One week together at camp was never enough time to set up a photographic community or space to be able to offer that important component.

With a yearlong clinic in photography, I hope to set up a safe place for our class to share and comment on photos as well as submit images for homework and photo challenges.  It would also allow us to have class discussions and constructive critiques (not to be confused with criticism). 

To do this, it would be very helpful if your child had a laptop, iPad or some device that they can have access to in order to learn how to pull mages from their SD cards to upload to the computer or external drive.  Then, I would show them how to download their images to a photo sharing site (that would be a closed private group).  This is something I would like to work on with them the first class in March. So, hopefully they would be able to bring their device that day so I can get them started.

To go along with this idea, I also found an online editing site that should be awesome for the kids!  The site does not require downloading and is free.  It will really open up the digital world of photography and art to them, allowing them to take their images to the next level.  Again, if they had a device they could bring to certain classes it would enhance their hands on learning experience.

Of course your student will learn all of the regular photography "stuff" too.  

Camera Care

Using Your Camera Settings

Composition

Perspective

Lighting

Field Trips

 

 Seek Beauty in Everything

This is my mantra, my inspiration.  We will focus on exploring and observing our surroundings with the goal of learning to spot the not so obvious subjects. Students will obtain skills to create a pleasing composition, discover what is important to them in art and photography, while learning what they can do with their equipment in a hands on, in the field experience.

Join us this summer for photography fun!

Today, more than ever before, photography is more accessible and increasingly popular with children.  Our kids have grown up connected to technology and as a result they are all familiar with cameras.  Few, however have learned how to manage their cameras or learn skills in order to capture that perfect image. 

Give your child an opportunity to be creative and learn useful photographic skills, equipping them with the ability to capture thoughtful artistic images.  

Students will learn basic lessons through workshops, visual examples, review and discussion of their own work, crafts, and field experience. By the end of the week, your child will have learned how to create eye pleasing compositions all while having a blast!
