For Students in Grades 7-9 in Fall 2025
Students will transform their smartphones into powerful photography tools! They’ll dive into the art of capturing and editing stunning, professional-quality photos. From learning photography principles, manual camera settings, the art of exposure, and playing with lighting techniques, they’ll gain hands-on experience every step of the way. Students should come prepared with their own smartphones, preloaded with the recommended apps, ready to snap, edit, and have some fun!
Required in advance of June 24: Apps to install on smartphones (iOS and Android):
- Photo Capture App: TBA in advance of the workshop
- Photo Editing App: Snapseed (iOS and Android)
