New Chicago Photography Summer Camp!

A brand new Summer camp for teens has arrived in Chicago, Illinois!

While many camps aim to please creative toddler with fun crafts, GTA Photography Camps’ summer program, Teen Camp 1, is focused on teaching teens and youth lifelong Photography skills.

A question many parents ask is “what exactly are the camp activities?” We’re more than happy to give you a glimpse into our summer programming using photographs taken by GTA Photography Camps alumni. But try to keep at least some of it as a surprise to your teen 🙂

Freezing & Blurring Action

This is one of the most exciting and mind-blowing things teens will learn in our summer day camps. They’ll learn how to adjust their shutter speed to both blur, then freeze motion. All the while our camp staff are very sacrificial when it comes to hitting this skill home. Let’s just say they’ve all taken their share of waterballoons hits.

Creative Composition

It’s become very clear to us after years or running these Photography summer camps that teens just have a creative intuition. They capture completely unique and unexpected photographs, and we push them to do so. Creative projects like photographing reflections and the abstract photo challenge allow them to really delve into their imagination and capture something totally weird and awesome!

Blurry Backgrounds

If you’ve got Instagram, you’ve most likely used a filter to create a blurry background look in your photos. These teens will use that filter no more! They’ll learn how to create those really nice blurry backgrounds in camera.

Panning & Zooming

Once we’ve got the basics down, these creative teens will learn how to take their technical skills to the next level, experimenting with such techniques as panning and zooming. It’s definitely worth noting that these techniques are not a breeze to learn, but each year we see stunning uses of both of these skills.

Awesome Field Trips

These Teens will adventure through some of Chicago’s hottest photography destinations, like Navy Pier, Magnificent Mile & the hidden gems at the Oak Street Beach. Each daily field trip will push them to practice the skills they’ve learned that day while keeping their eyes open for interesting photographic opportunities.

Yesterday I took the Travel Photography workshop and it was awesome! It was such a small class that we really got to fire off questions whenever needed. Neil was a very extremely knowledgeable, engaging and patient teacher. He is clearly passionate about his craft and he did an excellent job of preparing us for future travel endeavours.

GTA Photography Classes is a really amazing camp for kids of all ages. I was 15 when I took teen camp 1 and teen camp 2 in the fall and winter. The instructors are amazing and I learned so much. The classes were really informative plus the instructors did a really good job making everything as clear as possible. I had Laura and Kylie as my instructors. They were amazing and really knew what they were talking about. Each class was accompanied by a field trip every other week. Because the camps location is in the centre of Downtown Toronto, the field trips were pretty cool if I do say so myself. We went to Kensington Market, ROM, Nathan Philip Square, etc. I highly suggest GTA Photography Classes if you're a beginner and even if you have experience and you want to get a little more creative with your work, it's definitely worth the money.

I took classes last year in the fall and winter, and I learned so much!!!! I really feel like I have gained a lot of skill and confidence with a camera that I will carry with my for the rest of my life. I definitely missed having the classes once they were done because they were just SO much fun and the instructors really know what they're doing. I would recommend to anyone!!!

I took the Lightroom class which is a 4 week class every Thursday for 2 hours. The class was taught methodically and left me feeling confident using Lightroom. The teacher was very friendly and kept the learning environment fun and relaxing. I highly recommend gta photography, I've been around the owners and other people who work there. They all really care about their job and the students who come to learn.
