Portrait Photography with Film (Ages 12-14)
Youth Summer Camp | This class is completed
It's easy to take a picture of a person, but not always as simple to capture that person's character. We'll tackle the question of what makes a compelling portrait and explore film photography. We'll create portraits with studio lighting and take field trips to learn about natural light portraiture. You'll also learn to print your photographs in the darkroom. Bring your own film camera or borrow one of ours!

Raised in rural Virginia, Em White is a self-taught artist and educator. She specializes in analog photography, specifically large format film and wet plate collodion. She often works with alternative and historic processes, enjoying any opportunity for experimentation and play. When not in the darkroom, she can be found walking along the river with her three hounds or making tintypes at her analog portrait studio here in Richmond. Em has taught at VCU, the Penumbra Foundation and various arts institutions.
