The teens at the Railroad Clubhouse in Santa Maria have been exploring the art of photography throughout the month of May!
After learning different photography techniques during their lesson, the teens took their skills around the Club to capture creative and fun photos. From action shots to candid moments, they truly embraced the experience and became our very own paparazzi around the Club!
Their creativity, enthusiasm, and attention to detail made for an exciting and engaging activity for everyone involved.
Photography falls under the category of art as one of the core principles of Boys & Girls Clubs’ curriculum. The National Photography Program encourages our young people to use photography as a way to share stories.
The National Photography Program is designed to help members go beyond snapshots and develop skills to take photographs that can really impact the viewer. The current popularity and accessibility of photography makes it a powerful means to engage youth of all ages in creative programming, while simultaneously teaching them skills they will use for the rest of their lives. For some youth, photography opens a door to creative self-expression that no other art form allows. Others may discover a career path.
