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.

摄影训练营

任何人都能拍照，但你会用镜头讲故事吗？

什么是摄影训练营？

这是一门为期四天的课程，年轻人能学习用相机拍摄并讲述故事，授课老师是《国家地理》的摄影师。

课程内容有哪些？

- 上午课堂学习：比如如何拍摄人物或自然景观的精美照片？什么时候适合拍黑白照片？

- 下午实践拍摄：学生外出拍摄大量照片，再学习筛选出最佳作品。

在部分训练营中，学生会关注当地的社会问题。例如，在加勒比国家巴巴多斯，学生了解水资源问题后，通过摄影和文字记录现状。

摄影训练营还能促进文化交流。曾有巴西学生赴卡塔尔首都多哈参加十日营，他们环游卡塔尔，学习当地文化和语言，还拍下了许多精彩照片。
