Tailored for Teens
This is a fun, hands-on photography workshop. All exercises requires the students to work in teams.
Recommended age is from 12 to 17 years old. 11 year olds can also participate only if they are very motivated about photography and are mature for their age.
The class will cover a range of technical and artistic aspects, including aperture, shutter speed and ISO, amongst other photography principles. Coming out of this course, the students will have a great base to continue developing in the art of photography.
Class sizes are kept small so each participant will have a chance to interact with the host on a one-to-one basis. There will be a substantial amount of hands-on activity involved on the day, so please wear comfortable shoes and bring an umbrella should the weather call for it.
