PHOTOGRAPHY
SUMMER CAMP
This camp will allow students to develop their own style of seeing and shooting the world around them. With the city of Philadelphia as the subject matter, campers will dive into the principles of photography and by the end of the week have an impressive portfolio.
During this camp, we’ll be outside each day, discovering the city through our camera lenses. Campers will learn basic and intermediate principles of photography relating to composition, lighting, background and subject matter. We'll photograph both people and architecture, go minimalistic and over-the-top, and experiment with colors.
After a morning of shooting, afternoons will be spend editing photos and sharing our work with each other. After the week is over, each camper will have a portfolio of photographs they can be proud of.
Guided by Josh, a professional photographer in Philadelphia, campers will spend this week in a creative flow, getting valuable tips and tricks along the way.
This camp is open from beginners to more experienced photographers.
