The Two Parts of Click Happy

 

 

Live Visual Poetry Jam

One full-day workshop where you get an introduction to the Click Happy program and you get to help create imagery that will be used in a national photography exhibition.

  • In the morning we will be working on learning about perspectives in photography or how to see differently.
  • Before lunch we will be creating image for the exhibition using a treasure you bring with you mixed with our rainbow boxes of cool stuff.
  • After lunch we will be learning how to edit your images in Lightroom.

After you complete Click Happy you will be given an opportunity to join Click Happy Online.
