This week-long Introduction to Photography course introduces students to the basics of photography, focusing on creative expression and visual storytelling. Through hands-on activities using both smartphones and digital cameras, you will learn essential skills such as composition, lighting, and basic photo-editing. Not only will you develop confidence in your photographic skills, you will create a portfolio, and participate in a mini-showcase of your photographs to share your creative journey!  Note: students should bring a smartphone for this camp, as well as a DSLR camera if they have one. We will also provide DSLR cameras for students to use. Teacher: Samara Zepeda ‘18Samara is an SA alumna from the class of ’18 and a lifelong artist.
