Local photographer Sonja Younger of F/8 Photography leads an introductory photography series for young adults ages 12-18 at the Sequim and Port Angeles libraries.

This free series will first take place at the Sequim Library, 630 N. Sequim Ave., on Mondays, Nov. 3, Nov. 10 and Nov. 17. Classes begin at 4 p.m.

“My philosophy is that anyone can be an outstanding photographer using whatever tools they have,” Younger said. “Classes will focus on how to ‘see’ artistically using any camera (phone, point-and-shoot, DSLR, etc.).”

Topics covered in the workshops include composition, portraiture and creative focusing techniques. After an introduction to the day’s topic, participants have the opportunity to share their work and experiment with new techniques. Cameras are not required for the workshops, though students are encouraged to bring their own if they have one. Pre-registration is recommended and those interested may attend one or all of the courses offered.

The SNAP! Photography Workshop series is NOLS’ latest installment of enrichment programming for young adults in Clallam County. The series is made possible through the support of the Port Angeles Friends of the Library and Friends of Sequim Library.
