Young Creatives
A photo workshop for young people to explore the art of photography, develop new skills, and creatively express their perspectives.
I have gotten so much out of the workshops. I’ve met lovely people, had interesting conversations, and feel more confident in myself. I instantly felt at ease around the group, thanks to Pierre. After having children, I struggled to engage in activities or find time for myself, but the workshops have helped me reconnect with myself.
