Portrait Photography for Kids

Do you know a kid who loves to snap photos? This is the perfect 3-week course for them! Toronto-based photographer Stephen Attong will walk kids ages 7-12 through the basics of portrait photography, using disposable cameras. The course will also include creating cyanotypes, or sun prints – an ancient technique that uses non-toxic chemicals and UV light from the sun to create beautiful prints. On the third week, participants will create photobooks from their printed photographs and cyanotypes, then install a mini exhibition for their families to enjoy.

About the instructor

Stephen Attong  is a Trinidad-born, Toronto-based photographer (b.1994). His work explores the sentimentality in public spaces. From amusement parks to quiet moments with friends, hidden beneath playful colours and structures is deep contemplation of shared experiences. He intends to enable viewers to relate to, recall or imagine their own memories in his work. Often inspired by screenplays and cinema, Attong explores how these experiences, perspectives and ideas can co-exist through the common anchor of a still image.
