Introduction to photography for teens (ages 12–18)

This course begins with a fun introductory lesson: a real speed date with your camera. Through short assignments, you’ll quickly get to know the most important functions. Over the next 8 lessons, you’ll delve step by step into the basics of photography. You’ll learn to work with focus, light metering, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, composition and the (semi-)automatic modes. This will give you increasing control over both your camera and your images. During the lessons, you’ll practise with fun, practical assignments, supported by classroom presentations and, at times, on-location assignments. At home, you’ll complete inspiring homework, which you’ll share via Padlet and discuss together in class. You’ll finish the course with a strong series of photos and a solid foundation to continue photographing independently.
