Description
Each workshop is instructed by a professional photographer and trained teaching assistants, who will introduce all levels of photography in a fun and engaging way according to each FOTOcamp participant’s degree of experience and personal interest. Each student receives individualized and group critiques of their work. Groups are limited to 12 participants to maximize the learning experience and ensure personal attention.
We issue each student a digital camera to use while on our Fotowalks and field trips beginning with the basics of picture-taking while exploring lighting, and composition of photographs. From here the students will work on file management, storage, and post-processing using Lightroom and Photoshop in our computer labs where each student has individual access to state of the art computers and the latest software.
Please call the Centre at (561) 253-2600 for additional information.
