Photo Camp
Anyone can take a photo. But can you usea camera to tell a story, too?
What is it?
Photo Camp is a four-day class. Youngadults learn to take photos and tell stories with their cameras. Their teachers are National Geographic photographers.
What happens?
Students have class in the morning. They learn things like this: How can you take a beautiful photo of a person o rsomething in nature? When is it good to take a black and white photo? In the afternoon, they go out and take lots of pictures. Then they learn to choose thebest ones.
In some Photo Camp classes, studentslearn about problems in their area. For example, in the Caribbean country of Barbados, students learned about water problems. Then they took photos and wrote about it.
Photo Camps also bring people together. In one camp, students from Brazil visited Doha (Qatar’s capital) for ten days.Together, the students traveled around Qatar. They learned about Qatar’sculture and language. And they took some great pictures.
