Kids Summer Photography Camp

$399.00

This Kids Summer Photography Camp is perfect for young creative minds interested in photography! This is a fun, one-week camp held in Orange County, for kids and teens aged 10-14.

This summer camp teaches kids the elements of photography and how to use their cameras to take better shots and develop their skills. They’ll learn all of the settings on their camera, how to work in a studio, and how to set up great shots no matter where they are! All kinds of photography are explored, from studio and portrait to street photography and photojournalism – this is a chance for your child to dip their toes in different areas of this art and learn what they like best.

Each student will learn how to use and operate their digital camera, how to compose their photos, and have an introduction to Adobe Lightroom. Daily workshops include studio photography, architectural photography, street photography, techniques for posing and composition, and more!
