14 April - Easter creative photography workshop

🐣 Easter Photography Workshop: Snap, Create & Share!

Celebrate the Easter holidays with a fun and creative photography workshop designed just for kids! In this hands-on session, we’ll explore the art of visual storytelling using light and creative composition. From colourful eggs and Easter-themed props, kids will get to create postcard-worthy images they can proudly share with family and friends.

On the day

Participants are required to bring their own DSLR cameras.

However, thanks to our generous supporters, we do have six spare cameras available for use, which will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

Students will need to bring their own lunch and arrange drop off and pick up.

What’s involved?

Our workshops are specially designed for young minds (8-18) eager to explore the art of photography and storytelling. Why your kids will love this workshop:

• Kids can their favourite Easter-themed toys (eggs, soft toys, bunnies, baskets, etc.)
• Guided photo challenges and mini creative setups to inspire their shots
• Help with setting up scenes, using natural and artificial (string) light, and thinking like a storyteller

What will you learn?

• How to set up and frame a shot to make it look like a postcard or greeting card
• Basics of good composition: focus, angles, colour and background
• How to use natural and artificial light to enhance their photos
• How to add personality and story to their images using props and toys

About us

We are a group of professional and experienced photographers, passionate about helping young photographers grow, create powerful visual stories, and forge lifelong connections with like-minded peers.

After the workshop, every participant will be provided with their own online gallery and high-resolution digital copies of their photographs. This not only allows them to start building their very own portfolio but also gives them the opportunity to showcase their work at our exhibition.
