Children's Summer Photography Workshop
About this Event
Join Our Children's Summer Photography Workshops!
A relaxed, creative photography workshop for young people aged 10–14, designed to build confidence, spark imagination, and help them see the world in a new way.
In this session, we’ll explore the beautiful surroundings of Norwich’s Plantation Garden, a peaceful, inspiring space filled with textures, colours, shapes and hidden details perfect for young photographers. Children will learn techniques they can use straight away, with plenty of time to experiment, ask questions, and develop their own style.
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as children who already enjoy taking photos. The focus is on creativity, curiosity and gentle guidance, not perfection.
What we’ll cover
- How to use a camera or phone creatively
- Composition tips that make photos more interesting
- How to notice light, colour and detail
- Black & white photography
- Capturing movement and action
- How to photograph nature respectfully
- How to take photos safely and confidently in public spaces
- Fun mini‑challenges to spark ideas
What to expect
- A calm, friendly atmosphere
- Small group size for individual support
- Clear, child‑friendly teaching
- Time to explore and create
- Encouragement, not pressure
Safeguarding & Safety
Your child’s well-being is at the heart of everything I do.
