Kids Photography Club – 6-Week Course Overview
Week 1 – Introduction & Creative Branding
We’ll kick off the course by getting to know each other and exploring what photography means. Each child will create their very own logo and “brand” for their personal photography business. This fun activity helps kids take ownership of their creative journey and sparks excitement for the following weeks.
Week 2 – Camera Parts & How They Work
Kids will learn the names and functions of basic camera parts through fun activities. From lenses, buttons and viewfinders, students will become comfortable identifying each part.
Week 3 – Lighting Essentials
Lighting makes all the difference in photography! This week, we will explore natural and artificial light in a simple, kid-friendly way.
Week 4 – LEGO Photography Adventure
This will be an exciting and creative week. The kids will build their own miniature scenes using LEGO pieces. They’ll practice close-up and storytelling photography, learning how to make tiny characters look expressive. This session will be full of imagination and fun!
Week 5 – Poses & Angles
Students will discover how poses, angles, and perspective can change a picture. We’ll practice simple poses, experiment with shooting from high and low angles, and learn how small adjustments can create big visual impact.
Week 6 – Portrait Photography
For our final week, kids will apply everything they’ve learned to take expressive, creative portraits of their family members. We’ll focus on capturing emotion, personality, and connection—helping each child build confidence behind the camera.

Join us for a fun, hands on photography workshop designed just for kids! Over 6 engaging sessions, young creators will explore the basics of photography while experimenting with cameras, lighting and creative set ups.
