Who is it for?

Ages 14 – 17

We will spend the week learning how to use digital and film cameras while exploring different creative themes and ideas. We will experiment in the darkroom learning traditional black and white printing techniques, we will create photographs using light and dark, using collage, and even using sculpture!

Students will get a chance to try portrait photography, still life photography, street photography, putting their own create stamp on their images and learning some DIY hacks along the way.

Together we will look at how photographs can tell a story, how we read those images, and how we present them to the world can create new meanings.

Throughout the week the students will make a body of work that they will present in Photo Museum’s Project Space and will create a small publication of their collective work to take home and share.

This summer camp is a great opportunity to try out all that photography has to offer, meet other young artists, and create a collection of photographs.

All students attending the summer camp must have a consent form that has been completed and signed by their parent or guardian. Participation will not be possible without a completed form.

Students should bring a packed lunch.
