High School Photography Workshops
Program News
The photography Program is offering some exciting new workshops for high school students in the coming year. This summer, we will be hosting a week long intensive program that is sure to be fun and informative.
The one week residency Photography Workshop will be an intensive exploration of the many facets that make up photography in the 21
st
century. We will cover all main areas of the medium with one-two day intensive lessons. We will begin in the studio covering the workflow of lighting both still life and portraits. Then we will move into our state of the art digital labs where we will learn how to harness the full power of Photoshop and make large prints from the prior two days in the studio. Finally, we will spend two days in the darkroom exploring the alchemy that make traditional photography such a magical process. We will also be going on a field trip to the Philadelphia Museum of Art to visit their Prints and Photographs collections where you will see first-hand, prints made by the masters of the medium. Finally, the workshop will culminate with an exhibition of the work produced by the students that parents and the public will be invited to attend to view.
If you are interested in learning more about this or recommending it to a high school student you know, please see more information and how to register here.
