Click – Photography Workshops -  Focus, Observe, Create

Simplistically speaking, “Click” is a photography workshop taught to enhance skills needed in everyday life.  The real answer is much longer.  Click is…

1.…a program designed to enhance the thinking, creative, and problem solving skills of each participant to be able to make decisions and immediately view the outcome of those decisions.

2.…a fun and creative way for children to learn by bypassing the critical factor and teaching children needed skills without any agenda or mandated curriculum.  Truly utilizing freedom of expression to discover who they are!

3.…a way to build esteem in you or your child as we observe, create, and solve both individually, and as a team.

In summary, Click is a group photography workshop that over time teaches children the skills they need to learn in school, become socially adept, and succeed in the future.  Of course, they learn a great hobby in the process.

“Click” is taught by professional photographer and freelance photojournalist John Vercelletto.

The students will learn photography from beginning to end.  This includes composition, observation, technical skills, and creation.  There are set skills that will be covered based on the principles of photography.  Assignments are given to enhance a technique or skill but how the student interprets or uses that skill or technique is up to them.

The students will be shown a technique to enhance their work. We may play a game to enhance that skill. Then they will be given assignments to work on. They will critique theirs and the work of others as assignments will be discussed and critiqued in class.

Some typical examples of “tasks” are listed below:
