Free photography workshop for young creatives

Young and aspiring artists who wish to explore and experience the power of visual storytelling are invited to a free workshop on 8 November. Titled “Frame by Frame,” the initiative is organized by the Photography Program of the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde School of New Media Arts, the pioneering degree course in photography in the country. It is co-presented by Nikon Philippines, a leading high-quality optics and photographic equipment company. 

The dynamic learning session will be facilitated by professional photographers Forresty Garcia and Jana Francisco. Garcia is a product commercial filmmaker, and Francisco is a video content creator, public speaker, and alumna-turned-mentor at the Benilde Photography Program.

Designed for budding creatives who desire to pursue a formal education or professional path in photography, the lectures serve as an avenue for the audience to interact and learn from two powerhouse creatives. The speakers will immerse the participants in the power of storytelling for modern brands, particularly the importance of showcasing relatable narratives to create a connection with consumers. They will share the fundamentals to utilize effective and trendy visuals to communicate ideas and products. They will also impart their expert inputs and advice to produce lifestyle visuals and content creation for diverse products. 

The discussions likewise offer a glimpse into industry-shaping insights available at the Benilde Photography Program. This includes developing creative photographic skills and a critical understanding of aesthetics, balanced with professional and business practices. Senior High School students who plan to explore their passion and expand their knowledge in the creative field are welcome to join the talk as well. It is scheduled from 12 noon to 5 p.m. and will be held at the DFSR, 12th floor of the Benilde Design + Arts Campus, 950 Pablo Ocampo Street, Malate, Manila.
