Working with the theme “im|balance” the Photography Intensive will consist of seven two-hour workshops. The workshops are designed to introduce photography as a tool of social change, which can inspire a positive change in attitudes. Youth will learn the fundamentals of digital photography, elements of design and postproduction. Working through the realm of advocacy, and creating awareness, participants will develop a full body of work which will be exhibited in the Spring of 2019.
