Join us at the Jepson Center to develop your young person’s photography skills. We believe that all young people are artists. With that in mind, we will approach photography as professionals do, studying the elements of art. The class will meet outside as much as possible as we explore our environment in Telfair Square and other nearby locations. Location details will be emailed to registrants a week before the first class. We will use DSLR digital cameras and learn about exposure and a few historical methods involving film. Photography is fun and accessible to everyone!
