NeON Photography - Summer Session — Summer photography participants met weekly for introductory photography classes. Training was designed to introduce these emerging photographers to the elements and history of photography, as well as a range of technical skills, and the art of visual storytelling. Those who completed the 6 week session were able to become certified NeON photographers and have their work exhibited in a gallery show.
In addition to the summer session, NeON Photography also celebrated a gallery opening in July at the YEMA Gallery. The show featured 70 photographs by the most recent cohort of NeON Photography graduates. The event also included a photo booth provided by one of the NeON Photography graduates.
