Camp Description:

When it comes to taking an excellent photograph, did you know that the camera is far less important than the one holding it? It's true. Over these five days, you will experience how to SEE more creatively. You will use your imagination to go beyond selfies and capture truly fascinating photographs. The digital photography summer camp is a guaranteed great time, and it might just change the way you see the world around you. Digital cameras will be provided for this camp.

 

About the Instructors: 

Jim and Carol bring real-world photography experience and a genuine love for teaching to classes they lead. Jim, a photojournalism professor for over 25 years, has covered major national and international stories. Most recently, he and Carol documented Hurricane Milton in Florida.

 

In recognition of his dedication to teaching, Jim received the National Press Photographers Association’s highest honor for educators, the Robin F. Garland Educator Award.

 

Today, Jim and Carol share their passion for photography with students of all ages, teaching at the Dixie Carter Performing Arts Center, the Paris Academy for the Arts, Huntingdon Middle School, and in classes with young women at Youth Town in Pinson. This spring Jim also led workshops and training sessions for organizations such as Evangelical Press Association, Magazine Training International and the Baptist Communicators Association.

 

Whether working with kids discovering a camera for the first time or adults looking to sharpen their creative eye, their approach is simple: great photography starts with learning how to see. Their camps focus on creativity, confidence, and finding incredible images in everyday life, right where you are.
