Event Details

Don Orkoskey Photography Teacher

If your teen is interested in photography and wants to understand how to take better photos, sign up for this one-day workshop lead by me, professional photographer and teacher, Don Orkoskey.

Students will receive a thorough description of how to create incredible photos of any subject through examining exposure, framing and composition, all the rules and when to break them, and much more. This is a practical class where we’ll explore the grounds of the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden and apply what we’ve learned with my guidance. Your teen will need a small, pocket-sized notebook, pens, and their own camera.

Smartphone cameras will work fine and there will be a few DSLR and mirrorless cameras for students to try out during class.

Participants in this Teen class are encouraged to bring their own cameras, if possible. Nearly any cameras, ranging from smartphone cameras or compact point-and-shoot to mirrorless or DSLR, will work for this program. I will also have a few DSLR and one mirrorless camera that your teens will have the chance to use on a tripod, allowing them access and experience with these more advanced cameras. Students will receive a certificate for completing this course.
