About this Event

About This Workshop

Get to Know Your Camera is the first session in the Intro to Visual Storytelling workshop series. This hands-on session is designed to help participants better understand their camera, build technical confidence, and begin trusting their creative instincts.

Rather than focusing on complex technical rules, this workshop emphasizes clarity, curiosity, and practical understanding — helping you feel more comfortable and intentional when making images.

No experience required. All cameras welcome.

Instructor: Lu Lopez
