Session 1: Introducing the Subject

In our first class together, we'll talk about the importance of choosing your subject. We'll explore framing and cropping, removing distractions and placement of your subject. These are all important compositional tools to learn in photography.

Session 2: Showing Perspective

Seeking new and different perspectives can produce interesting, beautiful and powerful images! There will be lots of discussion on how we can do that, plus exploration of forced perspective and perspective from a conceptual point of view.

Session 3: Working with Lines and Shapes

How can we use lines and shapes to guide our viewer's eye throughout our image? We'll talk about this and play around with how lines and shapes can add feeling to our images. And why not dive into compositional tools like pattern and texture, too?

Session 4: Creating Depth in a Photograph

This class is about capturing 3-dimensional reality in a 2-dimensional photograph. We'll talk about foreground, midground and backgrounds and different compositional techniques that can add depth to our photographs.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much time will be spent online during this course?

This ROCK YOUR FRAME course is our Spring Break Edition! A great idea to get out during the school break and do a creative and fun activity. The group will meet on March 22 and March 24 with 2 sessions each of those days. The first meeting will be at 11:00am MST for 60 -70 minutes and the second meeting is at 3:00pm MST . Throughout the four sessions, we will talk about about various compositional techniques to further improve their picture taking. Kids will have the time in between to practice, experiment and play with the concepts learned.

2. What kind of camera does my child require to take this course?

It is not necessary to have a DSLR for this course. As the course is compositionally based they can use phone cameras, point and shoots or DSLR cameras.

3. What is the ideal age for kids taking this course?

Kids will need to be comfortable with being in a Zoom meeting for 60-70 minutes. An age range of 9-15 is recommended for this camp but of course depends on their focus level.

4. How will the kids learn in this online photo course?

For each day we are together kids will be taken through a few different compositional concepts that you see in the course schedule. They will see loads of different examples that are shown through screen share that reinforce their learning. I keep the sessions interactive by asking them what they notice (one of my favourite questions!!), ensuring they understand the concept and encouraging questions.

After our time together, the kids have the week to learn, play and experiment with what they learned. They will have challenges to complete before the next class. They are welcome to email me with questions they may run into. They will also have online access to the material covered in class so they can go back and review whenever they need. They are also welcome to post their images to the KPA Community Hub to get feedback.

Submitted images will be discussed in the following class.

5. Are there are prerequisites for taking this course?

No, there are not any prerequisites for taking the course!

I’m a mom, storyteller, and professional photographer for over 15 years.

I’ve always loved watching kids get curious about my camera, and so I’ve enjoyed teaching photography through camps and in schools for a number of years. Now, I’m thrilled to be offering highly accessible and ongoing online experiences for kids everywhere.

I’m nuts about sparking passion, confidence, and curiosity in youth by teaching them this craft that I love so much. And invite you
