Momentary Summer Camp | Film Photography Studio (Ages 14-18)

Are you ready to dive into the captivating world of film photography?

Join John Brown University Professor of Visual Arts Neal Holland and Assistant Professor of Visual Arts Kyle Agee for a weeklong teen film photography studio inspired by the Momentary’s current special exhibitions. In this studio, you’ll learn to capture stunning images and see how film is developed.  

No camera? No problem! We’ll provide all the equipment you need to get started. If you do have your own camera you prefer to work with, feel free to bring it along. 

Throughout the week, you’ll have the chance to explore various photography techniques and experiment with different styles. By the end of the studio, you’ll have newfound skills to take your photography to the next level. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to learn the timeless art of film photography and create lasting memories.  

This camp is exclusive to high school students (incoming freshmen through recent graduates). Tickets are $200 ($160 for members).  Reserve your spot online or with Guest Experience at (479) 657-2335 today.
