Phone Photography & Filmmaking for ages 10–15
Teenagers already take hundreds of photos. This workshop teaches them to take good ones on purpose. Your child learns composition and light, uses the kit's clip-on lenses and tripod, shoots a themed photo series, then plans, films and edits a one-minute story using the shot types real filmmakers use.

How 3 sessions get there
Each session is 60 minutes, live, and builds on the last. Your child is doing something for most of it.
Rule of thirds, leading lines, framing and the golden hour. A photo walk at home with three challenges.
Wide and macro lenses, steady shots on the tripod, and five photos on one theme, reviewed together.
Wide, medium and close-up shots in a five-shot sequence. Plan, film and edit a one-minute story.
