Photography as Storytelling

This two-week immersive experience is designed for students who want to go beyond taking photos and start telling stories. Through guided lessons, creative prompts, and hands-on shooting, students will explore composition, light, and narrative while developing their own photographic voice.

Over the course of the program, each student will create a cohesive photo series and gain confidence in both shooting and editing their work. The experience concludes with a small showcase of their final images.
