The Student Photography Institute is an intensive photography program aimed at highly motivated Collier and Lee County high school students. Each year, a class of up to 18 students is selected to participate. The annual program consists of four weekend workshops and a two-week summer intensive.
The institute is designed to give students broad experiences in various areas of photography, including the camera, lighting, composition, digital technology and portfolio preparation. The program also assists students in making vocational decisions, understanding visual communications and preparing for college-level image-making with a curriculum that emphasizes the craft and aesthetic of visual problem solving equally.
Beginning students concentrate on technical and formal excellence. Advanced students concentrate on one or more individual areas of interest while building a college-level exhibition portfolio. Photographs produced by the students will be exhibited at The Baker Museum and sites throughout the Artis—Naples campus.
