Program Description

Event Details

Learn about the basic elements of photo editing in this hands-on workshop! We'll discuss things like exposure, contrast, and saturation in this beginner level class.

To participate, you will need either:

  • a smartphone with photos you would like to edit on it, or 
  • a digital camera, DSLR, or flash drive with the appropriate cords. If you like, you can bring your own computer or you can use one of the library's laptops.

Because the elements we'll be working on are the basis of all photo editing, any photo editing software (including your phone's built-in photos app) will work. For those on a laptop, we will be using Google Photos (we will provide an account to use if you do not have a Google account).

About our presenter: Sophia is a college student and intern at the Southbury Public Library. She is an avid photographer, runs her school's photography club, and has taught several photography workshops for adults.

Like all our teen events, this is free, open to residents of any town in Grades 6-12, and sponsored by the Friends of the Southbury Public Library. Registration is required so we can save your spot!
