See the world through the lens of photography this summer!
Students will learn the art of photography during a 5-week online summer camp—either beginner and intermediate—designed to help students share stories about their lives, community and culture, using elements of social justice, journalism and empowerment, all through the lens of photography. This semester’s theme is telling your story in the year 2020. With the help of expert photographers, students will narrate and document their reality through photography and develop skills in composition, lighting and storytelling. The curriculum includes visual presentations, photographic challenges, activities, discussions, critiquing and analyzing and more. Students’ work will be celebrated in the SURA Student Photography Exhibition in October 2020.
The camps will be completely online and done from the comfort of students’ homes. Classes will meet via Zoom twice a week, from 1-3 p.m. EDT. Students must have access to an electronic device with the Zoom app, webcam/microphone capabilities, and an internet connection.

Due to the pandemic, we have been closed to the public since March 13. Closed doors mean that our earned revenue streams have dried up, and corporate funds have been pivoted to assist with COVID-19 relief or for their own financial survival. We are looking forward to the day we can safely reopen, but until then, we need your support.
