This beginner’s online program is designed to introduce kids ages 9-13 to the “superpower” photography skills used by professional photographers. They will explore how photographers across all genres use the same set of creative fundamentals to create beautiful, compelling and often award-winning images. The weekly sessions are scaffolded so as to encourage a deeper understanding of how they can apply and layer these skills in their own practice as burgeoning young photographers.
