Workshops for Adults and Kids!
Learn Photography and Jewelry Design with Melanie Guerra
Photography Skills for Kids
This will be a one-on-one workshop for kids with an interest in photography.
We will talk about how to improve the photos we take using basic photography principles, touch on color theory and the use of black and white photography, plus cover anything of true interest to your child in terms of photography (for instance, if they have a DSLR and want to learn to use the settings, or if they are very interested in nature, etc).
There will be photography assignments designed to be fun while applying some of the principles we discuss together.
