What to Bring:
  • Students will be required to have some kind of camera. We generally recommend a DSLR, mirrorless camera, or “bridge” camera (that’s a higher end point and shoot style that has manual capabilities). You will get the most out of this class if you have one of these cameras. However, you can also use a cell phone or a point and shoot camera. Pretty much any digital camera that works is acceptable!
  • Please make sure whatever camera they bring has a fully charged battery and a memory card, if necessary.
  • You can bring a snack and water, if you’d like
  • As always, have them bring their enthusiasm and creative thoughts!

Registration for this event is taken by the Wakefield Rec Department at this Link!

Tuesdays July 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th, August 5th, 4:30-6pm • Hunt’s Photo, Melrose

Please note: These sessions are for kids aged 12-16. You can find our sessions for kids age 8-11 here

Do you have a budding photographer that you want to encourage? Join Hunt’s Photo Education for a multi-session photography program aimed at strengthening their interest, improving their photography, and getting them truly excited about being the artist, the creator, and the family photographer!

Over the course of these sessions, we will cover a wide range of topics, from composition & perspective to depth of field & movement. In every session we’ll have a brief introduction to a topic followed by a fun practical exercise. Our goal is to get your photographers taking pictures as much as possible! At the end of each session, we’ll give an assignment for the following week, and at the start of the next session, we’ll look back on the images to see what we liked about them.

Our goal in this program is to have a lot of fun and not bog students down with too much technical stuff. However, we will also scaffold instruction, so if an attendee wants to know more about the technical aspects, they still can! Please note: This course is geared towards students aged 12-16 years old. Our age requirement is general and a certain maturity level is helpful.  Younger students with interest and a level of responsibility are welcome to attend.

Students will be required to have some kind of camera. We generally recommend a DSLR or mirrorless camera, but if you’re unsure, feel free to contact us at classes@huntsphoto.com

This will be a fun program with experienced instruction. And don’t worry if you can’t make one of the weeks–you’ll still learn a lot and have a great time!
