July 28–August 1, 2025
Attention all budding photographers! CPW is back this summer with our immersive, week-long digital photography workshop for teens, with artist and educator SETH DAVID RUBIN. Students will discuss and explore working with photographic genres such as documentary and experimental, using a variety of studio and constructed image making methods, as well as through group field trips in and around the Hudson Valley. Students can bring their own digital cameras or we can provide one for them!
Surprising challenges will be presented and participants will have to work in unexpected ways. Regardless of past experience, this workshop will introduce participants at all skill levels to exciting approaches and techniques, and to making imagery that will develop their skills further and expand their visual language vocabulary. Participants will have access to professional digital photo equipment such as cameras and strobes, CPW’s photo studio, and will also utilize CPW’s state-of-the-art digital media lab.
All participants will receive a free one-year membership to the CPW digital media lab upon completion of this workshop to continue their creative endeavors.
