AGES: 12 to 18 years old

Embark on a five-day journey into the genre of nature photography! This genre-focused class is designed to take students to new places and inspire them to explore with their cameras! This is a physically active (we will be hiking and walking throughout the week!) and hands-on class that introduces aspiring young photographers to the art of photographing the natural world. Students will expand upon the fundamentals (exposure, composition, etc.) and fine-tune their existing photography skills!
