Are your kids constantly taking pictures with their smart phone or a DSLR camera? Does your child have a creative flare, but just needs a little help expressing it? If so, you may have the next Ansel Adams on your hands! Â If your child loves taking photographs and videos of family and friends, special events or just for fun, then why not fuel their passion by sending them to one of our summer photography camps at seven different locations throughout Chester County, Delaware County, Montgomery County and Lancaster County. Â According to Mark Bergkvist, director of The Photography Workshopâs Summer Photography Camps, your child will explore the many aspects of the "Art of Photography". Varying camps will cover basic concepts such as Rules of Composition, Motion, Lighting, Focus, Perspective, Color & Tones and Textures. This year The Photography Workshop is offering eighteen different camps covering various types of photography: Action, Sports, Fashion, Macro, Street, Landscape, Abstract, Portrait, Nature, Wildlife, Photojournalism and some special topics classes.
Viewing, discussing, and creating images is a passage to self-discovery that enhances ones self-esteem. Studying photography is a conduit to a better understanding of various cultures and different ways of seeing, believing, and thinking. Photography broadens our perception of ourselves and the world.
Photography is about more than technique; it is about perception and communication. Because the power of photography lies in its ability to communicate our perceptions of the world, photography can intersect with many areas of study.
Starting out in photography is a wonderful time full of creativity and discovery. Unfortunately, for many "beginners" their first introduction to photography is a time of wrecked nerves, confusing advice from friends, and frustration as you learn a new camera and try to capture what you saw with your eye. The Photography Workshopâs fun-filled camps will show your child it does not have to be a traumatic experience. Â They will teach your child how to get the most out of their camera. They will cover how a camera works and which setting are best for specific photographic situations. They will teach simply yet powerful tricks that will take your child's photography to the next level. Every child will have a tremendous amount of fun and will leave our camp as a better photographer.
The Photography Workshopâs camps are designed to teach real world skills that allow every child to express their individual creativity and to develop their own artistic style and vision. Additionally, each child will grow as a person, learn how to work with others as a team and make some new friends with similar interests along the way.
These camps are for kids ages 9-16 years old. Â Each camp is 3 hours long Monday thru Friday except for our travel camp which is a full day camps. If your child does not have their own DSLR camera the camp can provide a loaner free of charge. Camps will be held at six locations this year: West Goshen Park, Downingtown's Kerr Park, Upper Merion Township, Longwood Gardens, East Goshen Park, Swarthmore College, and Lancasterâs Long Park.
Business Review
âMy son, Korey (10 yrs) attended the first session and absolutely loved the camp. I was amazed by how much he learned about visual composition and art in addition to the basics of camera control. He loved the camp leaders and the interaction with all of the kids. It was a great experience and definitely something he wants to do again. Thank you!!â
