Photography Camp: Session I
Explore Documentary Photography: Campers will learn the basics of documentary photography and have the opportunity to utilize their skills outside the classroom on daily field trips.
For campers entering grades 6 – 12
July 15 through July 19 | 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. 

Aspiring photographers of all levels are invited to join multidisciplinary artist Nidia Morales at a fun and exciting session of Photography Camp.

Photography Camp focuses on the technical basics of photography, such as exposure, composition and lighting. Through a hands-on experience, campers will learn artistic elements like storytelling, portraiture, documentary and critique. Daily field trips to New Orleans institutions, galleries and museums are included to enhance each day’s theme.

At the end of the week-long camp, campers will have created a portfolio of work. A selection of their work will be exhibited in a student-curated showcase opening on White Linen Night in Ogden Museum’s Passage Way Gallery.

Campers are encouraged to bring their own digital camera or use the camera on their phone.

This is a full day event, please send your child with water bottle, snack, lunch and an extra layer each day.

$300 members per session / $350 non-members per session
