Stories in Snapshots
Photography workshop for teenagers 13 to 17 years old 28 April – 26 May 2023
What are the basic rules of photography? How can we use the language of photography to tell a story and express our thoughts? Through an intensive course, over five lessons we will discover the language of photography for developing our communication and storytelling skills. Starting with the technical basics of photography and being guided by the works of great
historical and contemporary photographers, we will learn how to construct a photographic narrative.
In collaboration with Spazio Labo’
All the technical equipment and materials required for the workshop will be provided.
