Come celebrate the photography captured by Detroit high school students at the opening reception for Coaching Detroit Forward's Student Photography Showcase!
The exhibition features the architecture, nature, people and iconic Detroit spots captured by students in Coaching Detroit Forward's 2020 Photography Camp.
Over two weeks last August, students learned all about photography terminology, techniques and career opportunities from photography coach Sacred Overstreet-Amos and guest coaches. Thanks to support from the Fisher Foundation, each student received a professional camera to practice photography on photo walks with our coaches and in their community.
Their photos were published in Perspectives Magazine, and The Detroit Writing Room is now thrilled to display their photos for all to see. The Student Photography Showcase will be on display through September 2021.
Join us for an opening reception on Saturday, June 5, 2021!
After the students and their families get a first look, the public is invited to view the exhibition. Tickets to the event benefit Coaching Detroit Forward's 2021 summer photography and journalism camps.
