This is a free workshop thanks to a grant from the Creative Communities Northwest. Students aged 8 to 18 years old will learn how to use a digital SLR camera to take photos at this location. IMAgEN8 provides digital SLR cameras for the participants, and our teachers teach them the technical and artistic aspects of photography. Students receive digital copies of their best pictures, and are published in books and the Compassionate Nature magazine. IMAgEN8’s professional photography tutors bring a diversity of experiences, styles and interests. They are easy going, fun and enthusiastic, and you’ll enjoy them guiding your photography learning with their friendly style and insights from their years of combined experience. You’ll feel confident about using a digital SLR camera, like the ones professionals use, in the company of a small group of nature and photography lovers.
