Wild About Photography
Join us to learn more about your camera and all you can do with it. We’ll focus on making photographs every day at locations all around the UW campus, including on the field in the stadium, in the life sciences greenhouses and at the top of the UW Tower. We’ll experiment with photo arrangement, light painting and light drawing. We’ll spend time sharing photographs for feedback from your fellow students, your instructional staff and visiting professional photographers. We’ll also hear from guest speakers, including a National Geographic photographer, who’ll talk about new parts of photography. Come ready to photograph, experiment, ask lots of questions, explore and have fun!
