SEEING LIGHT: A Creative Photography Workshop
Age group: Teens/Seniors (Grades 7-12)
Class Size: 10 max
Curious about photography? Join professional photographer and educator Vicki Bell for a fun, hands-on two-day workshop introducing young creatives to the basics of photography.
Through a series of interactive exercises, students will explore how photographers use light, composition and perspective to create engaging images. Participants will experiment with portrait photography and still life, learning how simple changes in light direction, shadow and framing can transform a photograph.
Working with cameras or smartphones, students will take part in creative challenges while developing confidence behind the camera.
No experience necessary — just curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
