Are you excited about making photographs? Do you want to explore your talents while engaging with other young artists? CPW's Teen Photography Program provides a unique, creative and supportive learning environment for teens in 8th through 12th grades. Over the course of eight inspiring and motivating sessions, you will explore the creative and technical aspects of digital image making. Using CPW's state-of-the-art digital lab and photo equipment, you will learn how photographers make Hollywood superstars look so good; how to make images that capture your friends pulling an awesome skateboard trick or amazing catch; and how to tell a compelling story through a series of photographs akin to a graphic novel. Additionally, there will be time to explore digital art and photo manipulation.
This program will culminate with a presentation/critique of students' work in CPW's Gallery on the final evening for your friends and family.
