Way Out West Youth Photography Competition
If you know any students who are interested in photography but aren't sure how to get started, The Way Out West photography competition will be hosting a Question and Answer session (Q&A) and Youth Photography Workshops by photographer, Anu Kumar for young people aged 15-25. Students can sign up for Anu’s full seven-week workshop. These workshops are supported by Wyndham City Council and Arts Gen by cohealth and run over 7 weeks, commencing on Monday 9 May 2022 from 4:00pm - 5:30pm at Point Cook Library.
Anu will work with each workshop participant to explore how working with your friends, family and community as subject can not only produce beautiful photos but also expand your understanding of yourself as an artist.
