About snapshop!

In 2009, SNAPSHOP! was a one-day event that connects at-risk high school students interested in photography with established photographers who can teach them the technical and aesthetic skills they need to create compelling photographic images.

SNAPSHOP! serves youth who have limited or no access to photography programs and workshops. Our outreach includes students attending high schools in South Los Angeles, Watts, Mid-city, The Crenshaw District and the greater Los Angeles area.

SNAPSHOP! aims to cultivate the photographic minds of the future and and provide the opportunities for high school students to acquire skills that might not be readily available to them in their schools or communities. SNAPSHOP! pairs high school students with established photographers who will impart practical, technical and aesthetic knowledge on crafting a photographic image. Typically, SNAPSHOP! occurs during The Month of Photography Los Angeles and has grown from a one-Saturday event to a four-Saturday workshop culminating in the exhibition of the students work.

A very special thank you tor Santa Monica College, Julia Dean Photo Workshops, The Lomography Store and the Broadway Art Space for hosting our workshops for 2011.
