Over the past few afternoons, instructor Lisa Zirbel taught our students the fundamentals of photography in both digital and traditional film mediums. Students learned to shoot 35mm black and white film with manual SLR cameras and create enlargements from their film in our photo lab. They also had the opportunity to make studio-lit portraits, which they processed using Adobe Photoshop to produce inkjet prints of their photos. Additionally, they combined film and digital photography by making cyanotypes using digitally printed negatives from their own images, and by using botanicals and expired photo paper to create lumen prints in the sun during class.
Students used our continuous lights and strobes to experiment with studio portraiture.
While they were working on making prints in our darkroom and digital lab, students made lumen prints (above) by laying botanicals such as flowers and leaves onto photo paper inside contact printing frames. To make these lumen prints the contact frames were left outside in the sun during the afternoon to produce one-of-a-kind prints!
Students also made cyanotype prints from their own digital images using transparencies and Art Intersection’s UV exposure units.
Though experimenting with cyanotype didn’t stop at photographic prints—students made cyanotypes on silk scarves using more harvested botanicals.
To end all of our teen camps, on the final day we display the students’ work on the wall and invite their friends and families for a critique session to reflect on what they learned and the challenges they faced while creating their art.
In this workshop teen students explore the fundamentals and foundations of photography with fun photo projects every day!
Students will gain an overview of photographic techniques from digital capture and printing to using black and white film in the darkroom and historical processes.
Using both digital and film cameras, students receive on loan a 35mm film camera and a roll of film to explore 20th century film photography in the darkroom, experiment with hand-coated alternative photographic methods, and use the lighting studio to experiment with strobes and continuous lighting.
Each student will leave with a collection of their artwork made during camp and be featured in an online exhibition at artintersection.com.
Students are welcome to bring their own cell phone/digital camera and film cameras OR use cameras provided by Art Intersection.

After a couple years it was wonderful to host our Exploring Photography teen summer camp again!
Over four afternoons this week, instructor Lisa Zirbel taught our students the fundamentals of photography across both digital and traditional film mediums. Students learned how to shoot 35mm black and white film with manual SLR cameras and make enlargements from their film in our photo lab. They also had the opportunity to make studio-lit portraits, which they processed using Adobe Photoshop to make inkjet prints of their photos. They even mixed film and digital photography both by making cyanotypes using negatives printed digitally from their own images, as well as by using botanicals and expired photo paper to make lumen prints in the sun during class.
To end all of our teen camps, on the final day we pin the students’ work on the wall and invite their families for a critique session to reflect on what they learned and the challenges they faced while creating their art.
